Advocacy for Persecuted Christians and Religious Minorities in the Middle East

IDC pursues a grassroots mobilization of communities in the United States by forming regional chapters to support advocacy efforts and alliances built in Washington D.C. By empowering over 200,000 volunteer citizen activists across all ages, religions, races, and political affiliations to be socially and political engaged, chapters heighten public awareness of issues through hosting regional events and engage relationships with members of Congress through in-district meetings with elected officials.

This broad coalition allows for targeted grassroots political advocacy campaigns and events to educate policy makers and public officials on the local, national, and international level so that U.S., foreign governments, and international organizations adopt policies that safeguard the rights of all peoples in the Middle East, especially those most vulnerable to violence, marginalization, and persecution.
