Food is a basic human right!
Tigrayans are a minority nation of 7 million people who have been under siege by the Ethiopian government since November 3, 2020. At least 500,000 civilians have been killed from massacres, drone attacks, manmade starvation, food and medicine blockades. Hundreds of thousands of Tigrayan women and girls were gang raped by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and countless media groups have published the atrocities. The Ethiopian government refuses to restore basic services such as phones, internet, electricity and banking. Every day of inaction equals more preventable deaths. The followings organizations can give you information on how to help. What will you say your role was in stopping genocide?
Support the Tigray Community
Tigray Community Foundation
The TCC is a community organization focused on improving the lives of Tigrayans who live in Colorado. The Tigray Genocide has led to severe depression, suicide and drug abuse among the young adults and even elders locally. The center aims to develop its land to create a community center where collective healing takes place. The center currently hosts language classes, coffee ceremonies, Camp Tigray retreats for the youth and Ashenda celebrations to celebrate young Tigrayan.
Health Professional Network
HPN is a network of medical professionals and others who focus on getting medicine into Tigray. Every hospital and medical facility was looted and destroyed by government-allied fighters. People are dying of treatable diseases such as lack of insulin.
Tigray Action Committee
TAC is a Colorado-based 501c3 founded to bring awareness to the Tigray Genocide. The sisters who cofounded the group focus on women and children, including getting money and food directly to the hands of women as the entire region's banking services have been cut off by the Ethiopian government.
