[bestbits] Delivery of International civil society letter to Congress to follow up from HRC statement

[Deborah Brown]

Hi all,

I wanted start a separate thread on delivery of the statement, as it's
looking like we're getting close to finalizing the text.

Jeremy set a deadline of noon GMT on Thursday for edits, I believe. I'm
hearing that it would not be wise to deliver the letter this week because
Congress is consumed with immigration reform and the farm bill. Plus
delivering it on Friday would not be ideal if we want media attention.

How do others feel about aiming for a Monday or Tuesday delivery? Then as
Joana mentioned, those who will be at the Freedom Online Coalition meeting
in Tunis can deliver it to officials there as well.

If the plan is to deliver this to all members of Congress, we would need
contact information for all offices. Is that what others had in mind? A
number of groups that regularly do DC-based advocacy already have this
information, so perhaps it would make the most sense to work with one of
the more international groups with a DC presence on delivery. Amnesty
International and HRW come to mind, but there are probably others. What do
others think?

Best,
Deborah
