A March to Stop Genocide and Dictatorship in Ethiopia/Africa will be held on Sunday, September 13, 2009 in Washington.

March 4 Freedom calls for thousands of freedom-loving people of the world to come out to march in order to bring world attention to the gross human rights abuses, tyranny and oppression in Ethiopia as well as in other African countries where similar conditions exist.

The coordination of this event is necessary because such a large-scale event will send a message to Ethiopian and other African dictators that it is time to end the senseless killing, the injustice, the corruption and the repressive dictatorships that have created a human catastrophe for the people of Ethiopia, the Horn and Africa.

More aid for the victims is not the simple answer; instead, we must confront the systemic cause of much of the suffering—the lack of value placed on human life, on truth and on justice that is rooted in the lack of morality. Only through the moral transformation of our people, our institutions, our governments and the systems sustaining them, is there hope for the people of Ethiopia, the Horn and for Africa.

Speakers will include prominent human rights activists/leaders, celebrities, faith leaders, genocide survivors and political leaders.

Invited Guests: Interested persons, civil rights groups, social justice organizations, faith communities, human rights organizations, student groups, women’s groups and other civic organizations, associations and friends of Ethiopia who might join in support of freedom and justice for Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa and Africa.
