The Amhara Association of America (AAA) (Amharic: የዐማራ ማህበር በአሜሪካ) is a non-profit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, focused on advocating for the human rights of the Amhara people in Ethiopia.[1][2]

AAA is a non-profit 501(3)c organization[3][4][5] with a stated mission to "end the suffering and sidelining of Amharas across Ethiopia" and its activities include conducting independent human rights investigations, collaborating and organizing with other Amhara civic organizations and engaging policy makers (e.g. U.S. Department of State[6][7]), U.S. Congress members, international media agencies, and human rights organizations to inform them of human rights violations and humanitarian crises affecting the Amhara people of Ethiopia.[8] AAA's prominence in advocacy work has shaped policy towards Ethiopia since at least 2017 when AAA Chairman Tewodrose Tirfe was an invited speaker at the 2017 U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing titled "Democracy Under Threat in Ethiopia".[9] In 2022 AAA has been recognized as a widely published public voice and critic of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, Oromia Regional President Shimelis Abdisa, Amhara Prosperity Party (formerly Amhara Democratic Party) and other government officials complicit in the Amhara genocide.[10]
