The East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (ETNAM) (Uyghur: شەرقىي تۈركىستان مىللىي ئويغۇنۇش ھەرىكىتى) is a Washington D.C. based non-profit human rights and political rights' group which was established in June 2017.[1] The group supports the East Turkestan independence movement. Salih Hudayar, an Uyghur American consultant[2] and graduate student founded the group after pre-existing Uyghur organizations failed to effectively call for East Turkestan's independence deeming it "controversial".[3]
