Ensemble pour la République is the leading political party in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Founded on December 18, 2019, and led by Moïse Katumbi Chapwe, the party represents the vision of a renewed and ambitious nation.
Our vision is that of a united, prosperous, and democratic Congo. Our political mission is built upon key pillars:
- Ideology: We advocate for social liberalism, balancing economic freedom with strong national solidarity.
- Governance: We champion transparent public management, good governance, and strict adherence to human rights.
- Peace and Security: We defend national integrity, the security of all citizens, and the respect of fundamental rights for every Congolese person.
- Social Justice: We strive for universal access to basic social services, equal opportunity for all, and a fair distribution of the country’s economic growth.
The USA branch serves as the official platform for the Congolese diaspora in the United States to engage with the party’s vision. Our primary missions are:
- Mobilization: Uniting Congolese residents in the US around our common vision for the DRC.
- Advocacy: Raising awareness among US institutions and international organizations regarding the political, social, and humanitarian challenges in the DRC.
- Contribution: Leveraging the professional expertise and resources of the diaspora to help build the “Congo of tomorrow.”
Any person of Congolese origin living in the United States who shares our party’s values and is committed to bringing positive change to the DRC is welcome to join.
The process is simple and secure:
- Online Registration: Fill out the membership form under the “Join Us” tab on this website.
- Validation: Once your application is reviewed by your local coordination office, you will receive instructions regarding annual dues and the issuance of your official membership card.
To ensure effective mobilization across the entire U.S. territory, Ensemble pour la République USA follows a structured and decentralized hierarchy:
- Regional Division: The U.S. territory is divided into three major geographic regions: East, Midwest/Central, and West.
- Federations: These regions are subdivided into a total of 7 Federations:
- The East Region consists of three federations: Northeast, Mideast, and Southeast.
- The Central and West Regions each include two federations: North and South; for a total of four federations for both Regions.
- Local Management: Each federation is led by a Federal President who oversees local operations: Sections (grouping two or more states) and Cells (at the state level).
Currently, the USA National Coordination relies on a robust network of:
- 7 Federations
- 18 Sections
- 53 Cells
This structure ensures a seamless flow of information from the local level to the National Coordination and guarantees that we remain close to every member of the diaspora.
There are several ways to make an impact:
- Active Membership: Attend our town halls (virtual and in-person) and participate in our awareness campaigns.
- Technical Expertise: Join one of our thematic committees (Economy, Health, Education, Infrastructure) to help refine the party’s national program.
- Financial Support: Support the party through regular membership dues, secure one-time donations or buy party’s items via our platform.
