I received an update from my colleague Derek Forsythe at the U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy on their Initiative for Global Citizen Diplomacy and the online letter and petition for President Obama. The U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy has surpassed 1,000 signatures from individuals from 39 countries and 47 states (missing Rhode Island, Alaska, and Hawaii). The U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy hopes to meet with the State Department in May and then it’s on to President Obama!
If you haven’t already done so (especially those of you from Rhode Island, Alaska and Hawaii as well as those of you from abroad) please take one minute to sign the petition here.
In addition to signing the Initiative for Global Citizen Diplomacy petition I encourage IHEC Blog readers to bookmark the U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy webpage as they are doing some really great things. You can follow their blog (as well as on Twitter @CitizenDiplomat) and subscribe to their newsletter. You can access their home page here.
