This #GivingTuesday be a Voice of Oromo. Find out how you can get involved and support OLLAA to raise Oromo voices.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. This holiday season, we’re putting our own spin on Giving Tuesday with a special fundraiser that empowers you to support human rights, a return to democracy, and the restoration of peace in Ethiopia.
Voice of Oromo
This year, we wanted to go back to our roots. In Afaan Oromo, OLLAA means neighbours and it is this core mission of community and connectedness that drives us today – a wish to see Oromos connect and thrive; not just merely exist or survive.
Our mission is to raise the voices of the Oromo people, wherever they may be, and advocate for their human rights at every level of society.
But we can not do it without your generous support.
Please support OLLAA by donating, sharing this campaign with friends and family, and spreading the word about OLLAA. Share our videos across your networks and help continue our mission to raise the voices of the Oromo, to tell our stories and to continue the important work of advocating for human rights.
Take Action
1. DONATE TODAY.
Donate to OLLAA to help us continue in this mission: placing the Oromo voice at the centre of our work to advocate for human rights, democracy and peace in Ethiopia.
2. HELP DROUGHT-AFFECTED ETHIOPIANS.
Sign our petition at change.org!
The suffering of the Oromo people must not pass in silence, so we are asking you to sign our petition calling for humanitarian assistance for those affected by drought in Oromia and southern Ethiopia.
3. CALL/EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
OLLAA has published new email & call templates on our website regarding drone attacks across western Oromia. Call on your representatives to condemn these attacks!
4. BECOME AN OLLAA MEMBER.
By becoming an OLLAA member you get exclusive access to our content and support our ongoing work. Become a member for the OLLAA family and together we can build a Voice of Oromo!
5. SHARE OLLAA ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Sharing our content is one of the easiest ways to expand OLLAA’s reach and build awareness of the human rights abuses taking place, as well as sharing Oromo culture and language. Please share this campaign to help OLLAA build our network and strengthen our human rights advocacy.
A Year of Raising Oromo Voices
Over the course of the campaign we’ll be adding videos to show you what OLLAA has been up to over the past year, and what some of our aspirations for the future are.
