The AOH Freedom for All Ireland Christmas Appeal
Yonkers AOH Supports National
FFAI Christmas Appeal
 |
| AOH FFAI Committee Logo |
The Ancient Order of Hibernians National Freedom for All
Ireland (FFAI) Committee is dedicated to the realization and establishment of
freedom, peace and justice for all the inhabitants of Ireland. It has become a powerful voice for Irish American
advocacy in relation to the North of Ireland, and is pledged to fully support
and work to implement all provisions of the historic Good Friday Agreement.

While the Good Friday agreement has brought a welcome
peace to a generation of children in the North, there is still much work that
needs to be done. Recent and past events in the six northern counties of Ireland
exemplify why the support and attention of FFAI is still needed in the North.
Flag protests in Belfast, violent loyalist marches through Catholic areas,
reneging by the DUP on the Long Kesh peace memorial project, and the continued
obstruction of truth and justice by the British government and Unionist
politicians exemplifies the challenges and injustices still faced by the
Nationalist communities within the Six Counties.

| Omagh Thunder Basketball Program - FFAI Christmas Appeal Beneficiary |
The FFAI Christmas Appeal was created in order to assist
those organizations whose work and advocacy help realize the dream of a United 32
County Ireland. Groups requesting
financial support from the FFAI Christmas Appeal must promote those programs
that encourage cross community cooperation, economic development, social
change, cross border collaboration, Irish history and language education,
nationalist infrastructure maintenance and construction efforts, and Irish
unification initiatives based on peace and justice for all throughout all of
Ireland.
