    About Evan

    MY STORY

    Charged with treason I sat helpless in a maximum security prison in Zimbabwe. Almost accidentally I had started and led a citizens movement that inspired millions to protest brutal dictatorship and demand an end to corruption, injustice and poverty. For  four years, my friends and I built without any prior training a citizens movement that organized non violent campaigns ranging from boycotts, public debates and marches. Zimbabwe had been in a dictatorial grip for nearly forty years. We'd suffered democratic erosion, complete economic collapse and horrifying poverty. Fed up, I recorded a 4-minute video that went viral and birthed #ThisFlag Citizens movement. We taught people to overcome fear, to imagine a new future and to speak truth to power. Despite being arrested over eight times and facing brutal torture, the experiences taught me the valuable lessons of how to live and lead with courage, resilience in the face of persecution and to rally people around a transformative cause.

    #ThisFlag - The video that started it all

    Unscripted, unrehearsed and straight from the heart - I recorded this first call to action in my small church office on April 19, 2016. I uploaded to Facebook and sparked the blaze of an unprecedented citizens movement.

    At the heart of true courage is the desire to protect and promote the things we really care about. This is how you give the world the gift of your courage. I have learned that nothing that is valuable and meaningful was ever achieved without the sacrifice of self in defense of what we truly love.,

    'Iron sharpens iron' is a phrase that captures how we grow from those around us. Some of my best opportunities of finding motivation came from environments when we traded ideas and challenged the existing schools of thought.

    Rallying

    You have a rallying call - a call to action that grabs your attention and keeps you awake at night and What is it? I'm a strong believer that we each have a unique rallying call that activates our courage - We have to respond to it..
