Spontaneous Convergence

Ever wanted to go to an event where the aim of the event was not political, it did not have an agenda, and the only aim was to show our strength of numbers by simply showing up.  On Saturday, May 1^st, 2010, you will have a chance to do exactly that.

The DC Metro area is home to the largest community of Ethiopians in the world outside of Ethiopia.  The potential for our community to make a huge impact on the social, political, and the cultural process in the United States is tremendous.  So on May 1^st, 2010—this coming Saturday, we are calling all Ethiopians in the DC area to come out to the National Mall and get a chance to meet other Ethiopians in the DC area.

This event is not an organized event, we will not have speakers, we will not have music, and we will not have an agenda.  The only aim is for Ethiopian families to come out and gather, to have a picnic with their families and to have a good time with other Ethiopians.  Along the way, we can make a statement by showing how big our number is.  We have been working promoting this event using social networks and word of mouth to gather momentum for this event.  So please spread the word and encourage Ethiopians in the DC area to come out and take part in this event.   We look forward to seeing you this Saturday between the 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM.
