AYF-WUS’ ‘Break the Chains of Genocide’ Campaign flyer

LOS ANGELES—With the profound loss of Artsakh – an integral part of the Armenian Homeland – and yet another genocide committed against the Armenian people, the Armenian Youth Federation Western United States is launching a new campaign, “Break the Chains of Genocide.”

This campaign will take place throughout the month of April and beyond, advocating for justice and reparations for the 1915 Armenian Genocide, the 2023 Artsakh Genocide, and all other injustices faced by Armenians globally.

On Sunday, March 31st, the AYF-WUS announced a series of daily action items leading up to the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. These actions aim to raise awareness about the enduring injustices faced by the Armenian people and to emphasize the resilience and determination of the Armenian Nation in its ongoing struggle against Genocide. To stay updated on the AYF-WUS 24 Days of Action, please follow on their various social media platforms, @AYFWest.

For the final day of the AYF-WUS 24 Days of Action, the AYF-WUS – in conjunction with the Armenian Genocide Committee – will host their annual Armenian Genocide Protest, to take place on Wednesday, April 24th, at 12 PM at the Turkish Consulate located at 8500 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California. This annual Protest not only commemorates the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide but also the Genocide perpetrated against the 120,000 indigenous Armenians in 2023 in Artsakh – and calls for the end of the vicious cycle of Genocide against Armenians, and reparations in the liberation of occupied Artsakh. 

As always, the AYF-WUS invites and urges the Armenian community of Southern California, as well as friends and allies of the Armenian people, to join their efforts this April. Follow along on social media for the 24 Days of Action, participate in the advocacy initiatives, and join the Armenian youth at the annual April 24th Protest at the Turkish Consulate. Together, the Armenian community in the Diaspora can make its voice heard, and demand justice for the atrocities endured by the Armenian people.

Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation is the largest and most influential Armenian-American youth organization. With chapters throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the world, the AYF actively strives to advance the social, political, educational, and cultural awareness of all Armenian-American youth.
