Dallas, TX once again let Capitol Hill know that we mean business and we are holding our elected representatives accountable for unfair actions and policy towards Eritrea. In a coordinated effort, shimagele Mekete along with all the local organizations of Dallas hosted an Action Day along with the rest of the cities across the United States to lobby for Eritrea.
Yesterday, our collective voice was heard and Capitol Hill was scrambling! It’s hard to stand behind your lies when people are pointing out the holes in your story, and that’s what we did! Hilary Clinton’s people at the State Dept were so overwhelmed by the faxes from around the nation, they shut off their fax machines and even had the audacity to say that “we had nothing to do with this sanction on Eritrea.” When we all know that is untrue! If theyare willing to cast the stone, they should be willing to say I did it and be accountable- with yesterday’s actions we are demanding that they do just that, and they hate it!
We would like to thank EVERYONE that participated in the Nationwide Action Day! We would also like to give a special thank you to those that took the lead and made sure we had the materials we needed to make this event a success: Your leadership role in providing the materials and laptops ensured we collected nearly a thousand postcards, emails and Petitions. Let’s keep up the excellent work and continue to work for our country.
