Self-Governance
Self-governance is a legitimate, democratic aspiration.
Autonomy Rights
Nations have the right to cultural, territorial, and economic autonomy.
International Support
We call for international recognition and support for constitutional self-governance.
About This Campaign
Persecution in South Africa is not incidental. It is the result of a centralised political system that suppresses community autonomy, concentrates power at the expense of the various peoples of South Africa, and undermines accountability.
Structural problems require structural solutions. The sustainable solution is self-governance.
We therefore call for:
- Constitutional reform within South Africa to facilitate cultural, territorial and economic self-governance.
- Institutional autonomy for communities.
- Peaceful and lawful reform toward a viable political order.
- Recognition that the pursuit thereof is legitimate.
- Tangible support for those engaged with this pursuit.
Our Plan of Action
100,000 Signatures
We require at least 100,000 signatories on the petition, which we will present to the President of South Africa, Parliament, the U.S. President, U.S. State Department, and international forums including the United Nations, African Union, and European Union.
International Conferences
We will host conferences in South Africa, the United States and Europe to discuss the crisis in South Africa and our proposed solution. These conferences will include inputs by experts, as well as personal testimonies by victims of farm attacks, land grabs, racial exclusion and state failure.

Request the U.S. Senate to host a public hearing regarding the crisis in South Africa and structural solutions.

White House Display - Fall 2026
Lex Libertas and the New York Young Republican Club intend on arranging a public display of three thousand white crosses in front of the White House in Washington D.C. This display will be combined with a public conference about the crisis in South Africa and the solution of self-governance.
For this campaign, we intend to bring victims of farm attacks, land grabs and racial exclusion to the U.S. to share their personal testimonies.
Estimated Cost
$50,000
Sponsor a Cross
$15
You can support this campaign financially by sponsoring one white cross by contributing $15. We plan on executing this campaign in the Fall of 2026, but in order to achieve this, we would need a sponsorship of 3,000 white crosses.
