San Francisco , California USA Ethiopians are really in need of a strong community organizer. It has been decades since the late community organizer Ato Mulugeta Degefa passed away with the Ethiopian Community Center closing it doors leaving Ethiopians with no place where they cultivate unity with many especially the non-Tigrian young loosing their Ethiopian identity for lack of Ethiopian community center. The non-Tigrayan new comers refugees from Ethiopia suffer due to lack of a strong Ethiopian community center that help them navigate the system even in how to apply for residency permit green card and California ID cards..
There is a Tigrean community center at 474 Valencia street suite #103 in San Francisco , California that helps Tigreans only. it only serves Tigreans, the rest of Ethiopians in San Francisco are treated with sabotaged as enemies at this center. Also there is an Eritreans Community Center at 1055 Fillmore Street , San Francisco , California USA that also engaged in sabotaging Ethiopians anyway it can.
