At Jabdu we believe in order to build a strong community, we must stand and support each other in difficult times.

When our Jabdu members heard the community of Brooklyn center was in need of food and supplies, they organized quickly and efficiently to deliver on the needs.

What we witnessed today #derekchauvinverdict was accountability. A first step. True justice requires a change against a system that’s built on the oppression of black and brown bodies. It’s going to take all of us working collectively to end systemic racism once and for all.

[Jabdu Council @JabduCouncil]

Today we celebrate Oromo martyrs’ day.

This day is not just for the remembrance of our martyrs, but also a day to reemphasize our Oromumma, our power in unity, and our resolve.

Unity is Power.

We are currently advocating to drive action & determine how this tragedy occurred, who is responsible, and ensure the protection of Oromo migrants and refugees throughout the world.
