“We, the undersigned, urge the United States to appoint a special envoy dedicated to engaging with the Afrikaner community and other cultural minorities in South Africa. We call on the U.S. and other global partners to recognize the pursuit of self-governance in South Africa as a legitimate pursuit, to promote peaceful decentralization and self-governance reforms, fostering dialogue on regional and cultural autonomy and protecting communities from persecution. We believe such a step will support a viable, just, and free future for all peoples in South Africa.”

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
This campaign is estimated to cost $50,000. 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.
