| Nita Evele is an activist from the DR Congo. She was
born in Kinshasa, the capital, in 1974 and moved to the US in 1996
after the rebellion started in the DR Congo. In 1998, she found her
calling and become an activist, which allowed her to connect directly
with the struggle of individuals instead of passively watching events
unfold. In the US, together with other Congolese activists, churches
and other organizations, she has worked to support morally and socially
the people in the DR Congo whom war had decimated deeply, especially
children. In 2005, after briefly considering political life, she
decided to fight for a cause beyond political party membership, and
instead work with everyone involved in relieving people's suffering and
bringing them peace and prosperity. In 2006, she joined Coalition of
Pluralists and Congolese Patriots (COPPAC) which brings together
Congolese that want to bring DR Congo issues into the spotlight. COPPAC
primarily deals with issues pertaining to the DR Congo but also the
social issues that are common to the entire African continent and
African Diaspora. The coalition is rooted in its members' dedication to
freedom, equality, and opportunity. They are devoted to the fight for
equal rights and opportunities for all and advancing the sovereignty of
their territory and continent.
