Dear representative <Name> or senator <Name>
My name is <Full Name> lives in <your address>. I am a member of Amhara Association of Chicago (AAC) which is a legally registered civic association in Illinois since 2022. AAC is established to organize ethnic Amhara into a strong and vibrant community of Chicago and its suburbs capable of contributing to the Amhara people in Ethiopia through education, communication, advocacy, and diplomatic pressure.
The Ethiopian government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, is committing crimes against its own people, the ethnic Amhara, since April 2023. Prime Minister Abiy’s security forces have been deployed into Amhara Region killing civilians, arresting journalists, civic leaders, activists, and have detained thousands of civilians in Amhara Region, Oromia Region and Addis Ababa. Security forces are firing live bullets at civilians and torturing political prisoners. Additionally, Prime Minister Abiy’s security forces in Oromia region along with the Oromo Liberation Army have killed thousands of Amhara civilians and displaced over 1-million from the Oromia Region.
I am asking my representative to issue a statement condemning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and demand the State Department hold perpetrators accountable and stand on the side of innocent victims. In addition, I would like my representative together with the city council to pass a resolution condemning the government of Ethiopia for atrocities being committed against the Amhara people. I will work with you on this matter, if needed, to provide you all the evidences.
As a community of <Chicago>, I am now committed to attend current and future townhalls and participate in campaign donations to know more about my representative foreign policy implementation ideas for a government like Ethiopia who engaged in massacre and human right violation of its citizens.
Best regards,
(Your Name)
