Tigray Advocacy Committee (TAC)
About Us
The Tigray Advocacy Committee (TAC) is a unified body dedicated to coordinating and strengthening global advocacy efforts on behalf of the people of Tigray. TAC was established to address the lack of cohesion and consistency across advocacy work and social media messaging related to Tigray.
By bringing together advocates, community leaders, and organizations under one coordinated structure, TAC ensures that our collective voice is strategic, impactful, and centered on justice, truth, and the well-being of the Tigrayan people.
Our Mission
Our mission is to unify and amplify advocacy for Tigray by developing coordinated strategies, messaging, and campaigns that promote justice, humanitarian aid, recognition of atrocities, and sustainable peace.
Our Vision
We envision a global Tigrayan advocacy movement that speaks with one voice — organized, consistent, and powerful in driving awareness, policy influence, and tangible support for Tigray and its people.
Our Objectives
Unified Advocacy Messaging: Create consistent, evidence-based messaging that all organizations and advocates can adopt and share.
Strategic Planning and Coordination: Develop annual and issue-specific advocacy plans focused on areas such as genocide recognition, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and political accountability.
