FOR's citizen ambassadors in Yes! magazine

We were so pleased to find FOR featured in this month's Yes! magazine in a feature about "DIY Foreign Policy Heroes."

Yes! published a photo (without credit) of members of our December Iran delegation, but did give us credit for being "Citizen Ambassadors" in this short piece:

“Our experience of Iranian society, the warm welcome of the people, and the hope for real dialogue, breaks down all the stereotypes that have been promulgated over the last 27 years,” says David Robinson, a U.S. “citizen ambassador” to Iran through a series of dialogues organized by the Fellowship of Reconciliation. The ambassadors have met with religious leaders, the media, and ordinary citizens””and, in 2006, Iran’s vice-president””to promote dialogue and peace.
