BOULDER, Co. — Denver-based Tigray Action Network Colorado will march in Boulder on Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 11:30 to Representative Joe Neguse’s Walnut St. office to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict and genocide in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
According to the New York Times, “fighting has ravaged northern Ethiopia since early November when the government opened a military offensive against the ruling faction in the region of Tigray, starting a conflict that has caused thousands of deaths and widespread destruction, displaced over 2 million people, and sent tens of thousands of refugees into neighboring Sudan.”
While disputed by the governments involved, Eritrean involvement in the conflict has been confirmed by international groups such as Amnesty International. The brutality in this region, committed by both Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers, is significant, including raping infants and elderly women.

Trujillo and Martinez met in 2019 when Martinez was performing with her band, TuLips, at the annual Westwood Chile Fest on Morrison Road. They were fans of each other’s work and soon became good friends. In June 2020, they talked about hosting a festival-like show to give props to local musicians and small businesses.
“Celesté reached out to me after I posted a virtual festival over the summer where mostly independent artists across the country played a virtual set that would raise funds for local businesses who were taking a hit from COVID closures,” Trujillo explains. “As Celesté stepped out as an entrepreneur quite literally at the beginning of the pandemic, she was inspired to do something that could give her coaching, facilitation and development business a boost.
