WASHINGTON, DC - Having completed a full week of grassroots
activities urging U.S. Senate support for Armenian Genocide
affirmation, the Armenian National Committee of America's (ANCA)
"Countdown to Erdogan" campaign, now in its second week, will be
focusing the need for the U.S. House of Representatives to move
quickly to adopt the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.252.
"Countdown to Erdogan provides Armenian Americans from across the
country a unique chance to take part in a broad range of civic
advocacy activities, meaningfully strengthening the capacity of our
community, as we increase the moral and political pressure for a
truthful and just stand by our government on the Armenian
Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
A New Action Item Each Day:
Starting on Monday, November 16th, Week 2 of the "Countdown to
Erdogan" campaign began with an online focus on the ANCA YouTube
channel - www.youtube.com/ANCAgrassroots and continues on Tuesday
and Wednesday with email and call-in days directed at the House of
Representatives. Daily action will continue into Thursday, with a
focus on the Darfur Genocide, and Friday, with activities to
strengthen the Armenian American community's social networking. The
weekend will feature a field activity on Saturday and community and
family connection opportunities on Sunday. All activities are aimed
at educating and inspiring President Obama, on December 7th, to
tell the visiting Prime Minister of Turkey that American stands for
a truthful and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide.
Social Networking: Twitter Challenge Winners to be Announced on
Friday, November 20th.
On Friday, November 13th, the ANCA announced the Twitter Challenge,
urging activists to write a "tweet" in 140 characters or less,
