We are an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the history, culture and true lives of Romani people worldwide. We confront racism and oppression wherever we encounter it. We try to make connections with all the "isms" that make up western culture.

VOICE OF ROMA
Voice of Roma, a wonderful, activist group in California is conducting a fund raising drive.
They do great work both in the United States and in Kosovo.
Every year VOR sponsors cultural events to teach people about the culture and history of the Roma. These are always big hits. In the US, VOR devotes its time and energy to educate non Roma about the condition of Roma in Europe and the world.
The work they do in Kosovo is absolutely incredible. In a few short years they have established educational projects, micro lending, women's literacy programs as well as employment and income projects.
I urge anyone who can to make a donation to Voice of Roma to do so. They are nonprofit and donations can be claimed on income tax (US)
The address is
