The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) is an educational, research, and human rights nonprofit devoted to commemorating the more than 100 million victims of communism around the world and to pursuing the freedom of those still living under totalitarian regimes.

In support of VOC’s mission to “educate this generation and future generations about the ideology, history, and legacy of communism," the St. Louis Commission (VOC-STL) is committed to bringing this important human rights initiative to the local community. In recent years St. Louis has seen a growing support of communism and a celebration of communist symbols as a reflection of equality and justice. This increased activity is an insult to the millions of victims of communism, including local residents who fled oppressive communist regimes for a better life in the United States. The local commission is a volunteer based operation, including the leadership team and residents who are concerned about the rising support for this deadly ideology and who envisions a world free from the false hope of Marxism and safe from the tyranny of communism.

Kim McGrath serves as Director of VOC-STL.

Dan Powell serves as the Strategic Development Chair of VOC-STL.
