      <image:title>Grace Jo</image:title>
      <image:caption>grace jo Grace Jo was born in North Korea, a place where she almost starved to death as a child. Two of Grace’s brothers died of starvation. Grace’s father was tortured and starved to death, he passed away when North Korean agents transferred him from a detention center to a jail and his “crime” was that he left his country in search of food for his family. One of Grace’s older sisters went to China to find food for her family, but went missing and was probably sold into human trafficking. Grace was repatriated twice to North Korea by the Chinese government, and suffered imprisonment after she was repatriated. Grace’s mother and one of Grace’s sisters were repatriated four times and suffered torture after repatriation. In 2006 Pastor Philip Buck bribed North Korean agents to let Grace and her two remaining family members escape North Korea. In 2008, the UNHCR rescued Grace and her family from China, and enabled them to enter the United States of America as legal refugees. Grace is one of 370 refugees from North Korea who have settled in the U.S. Currently, Grace lives in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2013, Grace became a U.S. citizen. Alongside her family, she has protested the forced repatriation of North Korean escapees hiding out in China. Grace served as a vice president for an organization, NKinUSA which helps North Korean defects in rescue, resettlement, and emergency assistance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Frances Hui</image:title>
      <image:caption>Frances Hui Frances Hui was the first Hong Kong activist to receive asylum in the U.S. At the early age of 14, Frances started her involvement in Hong Kong's social movements. She was a former standing committee member of Scholarism and a campaigner for multiple pro-democracy candidates in Hong Kong. During the subsequent 2019-2020 protests, Frances briefed U.S. officials on the plight of Hong Kongers and organized global solidarity rallies with allies in support of freedom and democracy in Hong Kong. After the imposition of the National Security Law in 2020, she sought asylum in the U.S. Currently based in Washington, D.C., Frances continues her advocacy with the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation as a policy and advocacy manager and through her organization, We The Hongkongers, on cultural strengthening and community building with Hong Kongers abroad.

      <image:title>Daniel Chang Contreras</image:title>
      <image:caption>Daniel Chang Contreras Born and raised in Venezuela, Daniel Chang Contreras grew up seeing how his country decayed from relative prosperity to utter chaos, poverty, and authoritarianism under the socialist governments of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. In 2017, he did what more than 7 million of his countrymen did and fled the country that socialism destroyed. In the United States, Daniel got a degree in Political Science and Economics from the University of South Florida and is now pursuing his Masters in Political Communication at American University. Daniel is a senior member of Politiks, a Venezuelan digital media outlet that counters the Maduro regime narrative.

      <image:title>Gabriela Blanco</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gabriela Blanco Gabriela Blanco was born and raised in Havana, Cuba, under the communist regime that has ruled for over 6 decades now. Her family experienced the consequences of this terrible system firsthand; from having her great-grandparents’ business stolen and nationalized, to being separated from her father for over 10 years. At 23 years old she moved to the Cayman Islands by herself, where she lived for 7 years. In 2019 she came to the United States and was reunited with her father and siblings after nearly a decade apart. During her journey she accepted Christ as her savior, and alongside her husband they traveled the country as testimony speakers for the Gideons International, an organization devoted to spreading the gospel around the world. She is also actively involved in ministry and her local church community in Austin, Texas. Gabriela holds a master’s degree in Event Management from Falmouth University in the UK, has extensive experience managing large events of 30,000+ attendees and is currently a Project Management consultant for the largest sports field construction company in the US. She is also a mother of one. Her family and her faith remain her biggest passions, both directly impacted by the Cuban authoritarian regime. Gabriela continues to be a voice for freedom, God, family values and continues spreading awareness on the effects of communist and socialist practices on family and life.</image:caption>
