Learn About What's Happening
This video goes into detail on what is happening in Congo but I recommend watching the whole playlist.
Donate
You can donate here: https://www.rescue.org/country/democratic-republic-congo
Can't afford to directly donate? There are a few songs who's profits get donated to help.
Additionally some creators will donate the funds made from certain videos to the cause, so look into those as well.
Reach Out To Your Representatives
Whether that be calling, emailing, or writing letters to Congress, Parliament, etc your voice matters, the more they hear about it the harder it is for them to avoid.
Uplift Their Voices
Uplift the voices talking about the genocide happening in Congo anytime you see them! You can do this by commenting things like
"This information is so helpful!"
“This skin routine is amazing!"
"These travel tips are great!"
"Thank you for this information, I can't wait to try this out!"
Why comment things like this? It tricks the algorithm into thinking that the content isn't about Congo and is instead about travel/vlogging content, makeup tutorials, etc. By doing this you're helping to trick the TikTok algorithm, keeping these videos from being shadow banned.
What shouldn't you comment?
"Boost", this is something the algorithm looks for to suppress.
Random strings of emojis, TikTok considers this spam, meaning it's more harmful than helpful to the post's performance.
Digital Wheatpasting
By commenting information about what's happening on large creator's videos who aren't at risk of being shadow banned you can trick the algorithm into thinking that the content was about Congo. Once the algorithm has been tricked searching the creator's name can bring up more news about what's happening. It also helps to spread the information to those who might be ill-informed.
