Organization Name: American Federation of Ramallah Palestine (AFRP) الاتحاد الأمريكي رام الله فلسطين
Organization Overview: The mission of the AFRP is to perpetuate and promote the rich, cultural Palestinian heritage of the Ramallah family and their descendants in the diaspora – estimated at approximately 40,000 in the U.S. – by providing programs that foster cultural and social interaction, as well as educational, humanitarian, civic and charitable opportunities.
AFRP Goals
To perpetuate and enhance the close ties that exist among all Ramallah people through the formulation of local clubs.
To instill and nurture in the Ramallah Youth in the United States their ancestral language, culture and heritage.
To orient the American public with Arab culture and heritage and to promote better understanding of the humanitarian aspirations of the Palestinians in particular and the Arabs in general.
AFRP History
In 1952, several young students who lived in the United States wanted to unite the Ramallah community in the diaspora. Their aim was to have people in the United States stay in touch with each other so that they could retain their cultural identity. They established Hathihe Ramallah Magazine with correspondences in each community so that they can keep abreast of the latest news. Within months of launching the magazine, members of the community began organizing clubs in cities where a large number of Ramallites resided. As they organized the committees they realized that in order for the committees to succeed they must put together by-laws that would guide the new entities. A decision was made to unite the community under one Federation with local clubs in each major community.
On Sunday, September, 7, 1959, members of the community took the momentous decision to create a Federation and adopted interim by-laws and constitution. Today, there are 35,000 people from Ramalla living in the United States of America. They are concentrated in such major cities as San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Santa Rosa, and Los Angeles CA; Jacksonville, FL; Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; Knoxville, TN; Lexington, KY; Greensboro, NC; Birmingham, AL; Cleveland, OH; Little Rock, AR; Buffalo and Hempstead, NY; Milwaukee, WI; and South Plainfield, NJ. In all these cities, chapters were formed making up the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine. The Headquarters of the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine was and is located in Detroit, Michigan.
In addition, the founders of the Federation resolved to have the Federation be non-profit entity with an elected executive committee. The purpose of the Federation was to organize the Ramallah communities in the United States; to use the united resources and its position as a national organization to lead and guide the people of Ramallah; to raise funds for charitable purposes which are of general welfare to the Ramallah people, and to establish better ties and understanding between the Ramallah communities in the U.S.A. and in Ramallah.

Organization Name: Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of Greater Detroit
Organization Overview: Born out of reverent remembrance and continuing advocacy for a yet unpunished crime against humanity, the Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of Greater Detroit was formed to organize commemorative events throughout 2015 for the Centennial Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Comprised of over 15 of Greater Detroit’s leading Armenian-American organizations, the committee’s goals include:
Honoring, through commemorative events, the memory of the 1.5 million Armenian victims who were systematically murdered by the Ottoman Turkish authorities in the first Genocide of the 20th Century.
Demand universal recognition of the Armenian Genocide, reparations from the perpetrators’ legal successors (the Republic of Turkey), and restoration to the legal owners of all Armenian historic lands, churches and institutions.
Increase public awareness of the Armenian Genocide in particular, as well as all other genocides.
A 100 year-old crime against humanity that remains unpunished
In 1915, the Ottoman Turkish government systematically, and with determination, exterminated the indigenous Armenian people on their historic homeland -- what is today the Republic of Turkey. It began on April 24, 1915, when Armenian leaders were rounded up by the Ottoman Turkish authorities and publicly executed, and continued for eight years. This methodical murdering of a nation included the killing of the male population, use of labor camps, death marches of women and children across the Syrian Desert, and the re-population of non-Armenians on historic Armenian lands. Please visit www.theforgotten.org for more information.
In 2015, local, national, and international events will take place to remember the 1.5 million Armenian victims and to demand that justice be served for this crime against humanity.
