Netroots News

April has been a busy month on Netroots!  We wanted to celebrate National Volunteer Week by thanking all of our volunteers for their dedication and support and by giving you a few updates on Netroots.

Chapter News: One of our most active volunteers, Liz V., head of the Houston Chapter, was written up in the Houston Chronicle last week.  We wanted to thank Liz and the Houston Chapter for all of their wonderful work.  Liz has just left for work in Afghanistan, but another wonderful volunteer will head the group in her absence.  Please learn more about the wonderful work of the Houston Chapter in our latest e-brief and on the Chapter's website.

There to help: TLP has many active volunteers on Netroots who work hard, online and in their communities, to help Iraqis settle in.  The TLP Troubleshooters is a group of volunteers dedicated to helping Americans and Iraqis with questions and problems.   Please visit the group page!

New to Netroots: TLP and our volunteers worked on our new 'Resources' tab, which is filled with tips on how you and your community can help Iraqis in your area.  Please check out our new pages to find more information on how you can get involved!

Sky Choi and the List Kids Make the Headlines!

Sky Choi, founder of the List Kids, will be graduating high school in May, at only 12 years old, and he is already making the headlines!  Not only has Sky been dedicated to sending packages each month to recently resettled Iraqi children, but he has also earned a black belt in Tawkwondo and will be a full-time student at Florida International University in the fall.  Check out FIU's recent article  and watch a video on Sky.

Recognizing the strain that the recent economic downturn has put on small non-profit organizations like the List Project, a donor of FJC (www.fjc.org) has generously offered to match up to $15,000 in donations raised by April 15!  

DONATE NOW

Over 150 lawyers, countless volunteers, and the List Project Team work each day to create a safety net for those Iraqis employed by the U.S. who are now in grave danger.  With over 2000 names on our constantly expanding List, your contribution will make it possible for us to directly help each Iraqi.  With the generous opportunity offered by our donor, who will match donations up to $15,000, we hope that you will make a donation today.
