About Us
The List Project is a U.S. non-profit, founded in 2007 with the belief that the United States Government has a clear and urgent moral obligation to resettle to safety Iraqis who are imperiled due to their affiliation with the United States of America. We are the first comprehensive organizational effort to honor the sacrifice of these Iraqis.
We've launched this site for Americans who want to help and the Iraqis who need it.
Looking for a place to begin? Educate yourself, Get involved, Support the Project, Stay informed.
If you are an Iraqi who helped the U.S. or you represent one who needs help, email us immediately: refugees@thelistproject.org
About the Crisis
The Iraq refugee crisis is now among the fastest-growing refugee crises in the world. 15% of Iraq's population is in flight, either displaced internally or forced to flee across international borders to neighboring countries. This is the statistical equivalent of nearly 50 million Americans.
Hiding amongst these millions is a group of Iraqis who have been forced from their homes because they helped the United States. They rejoiced at the toppling of Saddam and signed up to serve as interpreters for our armed forces, and as engineers and experts with the U.S. Government, NGOs, and American companies working toward a better Iraq.
Now they are the most hunted class in Iraq. The lethal stigma they bear as 'collaborators' transcends sect or tribe, and they are being systematically targeted for assassination.
As of yet, their cries for help have been heard but not answered by the US Government.
