"Prevent War with Iran" Campaign Coming to a State Near You!

FCNL has distributed more than 17,000 ‘Diplomacy Not War with Iran’ postcards to citizen advocates around the country, and has delivered over 4,600 of those to Congress in dozens of FCNL staff and grassroots lobby visits, demonstrating strong constituent support for diplomacy to prevent both war and a nuclear-armed Iran.

More than 150 individuals representing more than 60 meetings, churches, and civic groups have ordered postcards from 36 states.

Below are some stories of how FCNL supporters have used these postcards as community organizing and citizen advocacy tools. Some groups are using these postcards for their own lobby visits, while others are sending them back to FCNL for our lobby visits.
