Yes! You can make a difference!
After three decades of quiet residence in the United States, Ethiopian-Americans are now becoming civically engaged and politically active. They have finally come of age in America and have started to use their constitutional rights to help themselves and their people in Ethiopia.
Do you believe Ethiopians are entitled to a freely elected democratic government, deserve to live under a fair system of laws, and equality for all Ethiopians under the law?
Do you believe Ethiopia can do better than become an international basket case?
Do you think Ethiopians have a right to free speech, a free and independent press and equal justice for all Ethiopian under the law?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you are one in spirit and action with the hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian-Americans who have decided to stand up for Ethiopia.
