Congressional influence

Here Are Those Who Care

Challenges Entered: 
Our current campaign is to save the kindergarten of Al Aqabah (our earliest project) and its village. When newcomers join this campaign, we would like to show them a web-based map of others in their congressional district who have registered and invite them into a discussion forum. People will be interacting with our staff, with those directly involved with the cause there on the ground, with other constituents who are concerned with the village, and possibly with others nationwide or worldwide who want to help develop a particular idea or aspect of the case. They’ll use a web interface that includes event management and constituent mapping in each congressional district to gain a sense of how we all fit together. We use “Contact Congress Teleconferences” to link constituents with the people directly involved and senior staffers for their senators and representatives. Below is a film we made in 2004 about Al Aqabah, when it seemed as if an "eastern wall" was the reason for the mass demolition order.
