Survivors of Gilead National Homelands Genocide is an organization led by survivors of forced marches into North Dakota, where people were crowded in fenced-in ghost towns with no food or water, methods of killing reminiscent of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. The event was a result of ethnic persecution within Gilead as a result of Commander Judd's plans for a "Certificate of Whiteness" within Gilead[1].


It regularly attends anti-Gilead demonstrations in Toronto, Canada. Its leader gives a speech, as observed by Daisy, about the genocide and about the survivors who marched to the Canadian border in winter, losing their fingers from frostbite [2].
