Around 50 people from all over the world worked together. They did something in one week that would take 2 weeks for 100 people to do. They had two things in common, they were Assyrians and they had goal; To inform the world!


Two weeks have passed since we started this project. Before it started, some friends and I were discussing what we could do to prevent the brutal killing and cleansing of our people from our lands. We were discussing what the quickest and most effective way was to raise attention about the current situation. We were talking about how Internet could help us with our task.

We needed to take action and fast. We wanted to make sure that no one would miss the ongoing crime in Iraq and Syria, we wanted t make sure that not a single person, politician, would be able to say "we did not know about this".

Over 6000 politicians, government officials and workers from the media, from all over the world, have been contacted and given information about our situation. Already, just after a day we are starting to get media attention from everywhere.

However, for this campaign to reach its full potential, every single Assyrian must help out and stand up for their rights. This is something we can achieve together. You already know what our final goal is, you all know what must be done. One day we will reach that goal, but it is only possible if we all work together.

Nothing is impossible!

A Demand For Action!

God bless, Dave. Let us know if there's anyway we can help beyond raising awareness

Edit:

Honestly, this is a good example of how we can use our diaspora at an advantage. With so many of us abroad, we are able to receive stable education and develop skills we may not necessarily have had the opportunity to learn if we lived in the homeland. I think the right attitude to have as a people is to continue leveraging our diaspora in ways that are advantageous to Assyrians back home
 
Domanic, France is already on board. :)

Unfortunately no one from Brazil or Italy came in touch with us...  However if they do contact us and can help with the translations and gathering officials mails, that would be great...
 
This awareness campaign, at least from a media and social media standpoint, has been a great success.

I estimate that the hashtag 'DemandForAction' has been mentioned no less than 1 million times in the last 30 days on Twitter and Facebook etc.

Let us keep it going. The world is noticing at least.
