Dr. Demessie is the senior Vice-president of the CBC Foundation, an organization founded in 1976 by the the Congressional Black Caucus as a non-partisan research institute. https://www.cbcfinc.org/leadership-team/
In 2018, Demessie was the secretary of the Ethiopian Trust Fund. https://www.ethiopiatrustfund.org/team/dr-menna-demissie/
ADOS is ridiculed as divisive while Dr. Demessie gets unrestricted access to representatives that WE voted into office to advocate for our interests too. On October 23 there was even an âEthiopians for Biden Harrisâ event on Zoom w/ @RepKarenBass & @JacksonLeeTX18 in attendance.
Ethiopians freely advocate for their own interests while ADOS, the people who built the US making it possible for people like Dr. Demessie to even be here, use ADOS as stepping stones to advance their own group interests. Here is a her tweet of that Zoom event. âHow divisive!â

The CBC Foundation is a non-profit so its 990 is PUBLIC! In the fiscal year ending Dec. 2018, Dr. Demessie is reported to have made a $120,291 in her capacity as VP. THIS is a salary that should be going to someone who is fighting for ADOS! (We must take our organizations BACK!)
Here is a link to the 990s for the CBC Foundation so that you all can see exactly how all the money they collect is being MIS-spent. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521160561
ALL of you need to take a look at the 990s of these organizations - if only to see just how much money these folks make in organizations founded by & for ADOS but are now run by people who donât give a damn about us!
Here is the 990 for the NAACP LDF: https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2019LDF990.pdf
