Who We Are

SIYAA, a 501c4, non-partisan PAC, is dedicated to the advancement, education and leadership of African immigrants and First-Gen Africans rising within the American political process. SIYAA, short for "siyaasadda" means politics in Somali. As Africans living, working and thriving in the U.S., we are dedicated to helping empower present and future leaders to step up to be the next rising leaders in all local, state and federal political offices. We are focused on supporting candidates of African descent and those that support and promote issues affecting Africans throughout the diaspora stateside. Our mission is to help increase the number of Africans elected officials on all levels of the political spectrum by providing training, fundraising, advertisement and boots on the ground.

In addition, we educate voters, endorse candidates, and mobilize volunteers so SIYYAA-backed candidates and campaigns win!

The power of Africa and its people has long helped the United States become what it is today, we are continuing the legacy.
