Over 100,000 Maasai citizens were erased from the voter rolls in Tanzania, for daring to stay on their ancestral lands. Using firearms and teargas, the government has expelled thousands Indigenous Maasai to make way for safari tourism. Now, they’ve taken it a step further by stripping the brave few that remain at home in the Ngorongoro district of their right to vote.

The Tanzanian government is trying to keep it quiet to avoid backlash from pro-democracy funders – but a global roar from our movement can put the spotlight on this violation, force funders to draw a line in the sand, and help the Maasai to restore their right to vote.

Elections are approaching fast - add your name now.
