Dear CCI Friends,
The dramatic and dangerous deterioration in relations between the U.S. and Russia demands that we all take unprecedented actions in 2019. It requires that citizens find unusual ways to educate and break through the mire of political actions and inaction to create new initiatives. CCI led the way in U.S.-USSR relations in the early 1980s before the term “citizen diplomacy” was coined. We are again searching for unparalleled ways for citizens to act.
Hence, we announce our latest venture in the direction of recreating goodwill, truth, openness and hope in the battered relationship between the U.S. and Russia … between American and Russian citizens and officials. Nothing on the planet is more important than this relationship during today’s state of affairs.
We invite you to consider participating in this nationwide, 30-city investigatory trip … or forwarding this invitation to someone you know who may be interested in this much-needed endeavor.
