Alpha Epsilon Omega, The Armenian Fraternity™, has launched the "NEVER AGAIN™"awareness wristband campaign. As students attending higher education institutions in California, we are at the battlefield of diversity and understanding. As a grassroots organization we understand the importance of keeping our identity as Armenians and secondly as human beings. One of our goals as an academic organization is to educate the general public of the Armenian history and culture. With this campaign we hope to educate our community about one of the most significant event in our history; that being the Armenian Genocide.

The purpose of the wristbands is to bring greater awareness to the Armenian Genocide and the struggle for recognition. They will serve as a symbol that the recognition of the Armenian Genocide is a crucial part in preventing future genocides. The wristbands are reflection of the spirit of the Armenian culture which has endured the constant pose of denial from the government of Turkey. The wristbands represent the constant reminder to ourselves that history, if not accounted for, is in danger of repeating itself.

The awareness wristbands are in black and have "NEVER AGAIN™ " debossed on one side. They are available for purchase from the web site. The wristbands are both for youth and adults of all ages. All proceeds, including donations generated by the NEVER AGAIN™ campaign will go to the Armenian Genocide Museum and Memorial, the Zoryan Institute, the Genocide Education Project and other organizations actively involved in pursuing recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Armenian Genocide Museum and Memorial being part of ANI (Armenian National Institute) is in the forefront of research in the area of the Armenian Genocide and the prevention of future genocides. The Zoryan institute funding the International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies is also making opportunities for scholars to research and publish in the field of genocide and human rights studies. The Genocide Education Project is a nonprofit organization that assists teachers in teaching about human rights and genocide, particularly the Armenian Genocide, by developing and distributing instructional materials, providing access to teaching resources and organizing educational workshops. These organizations are 501(c) 3 Non-Profit Organizations which are actively pursuing the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
