Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of working with and befriending some amazing people from Eritrea ( Finhas Temesgen, Hermon Tekle, Habtom Bisrat and others) who have braved horrible conditions and hardships to come to the USA and start to build lives that are filled with peace. This past week, many of their countrymen perished in a tragedy off of the Italian coast but many more perish daily trying to escape the totalitarian regime led by the man below. Please call and contact your President, Senators, and Representatives to urge them to apply pressure on this government to reform itself so its people can finally begin to live in peace. Brian Higgins can be reached here: higgins.house.gov/contact Chuck Schumer can be reached here: schumer.senate.gov/ Kirsten Gillebrand can be reached here: gillibrand.senate.gov/ and The President can be reached here: whitehouse.gov/ Please do anything you can to urge the US government to pressure the Eritrean government to change. No more lives should be lost.
