The Pakistan Voices Project has begun. This month, Freedom Forward will be conducting focus groups with Pakistani community members from the Atlanta and San Francisco regions.
These mark the first in a series of opportunities for Pakistanis and Pakistani Americans living in the U.S. to share their perspectives with the broader U.S. public. To participate in the Pakistan Voices Project, email freedomforward1@gmail.com.

Overview:
Freedom Forward is considering applications for a limited number of volunteer research fellowships. Research Fellows will support the Pakistan Voices Project, a series of focus groups involving Pakistani and Pakistani American communities in the US.
The Pakistan Voices Project will result in a nationally released report that will inform the broader American debate on US foreign-policy towards Pakistan. Research Fellows shall make a minimum commitment of 10 hours to the project, though larger commitments offer the opportunity of more in-depth work. Research Fellows shall be credited in the final published report.

The Pakistan Voices Project is an effort by Freedom Forward to educate America about the perspectives of Pakistanis and Pakistani-Americans regarding U.S. foreign policy.
Pakistani perspectives are often missing from mainstream discourse on Pakistan and US-Pakistan relations.
Beginning in March, we will be conducting phone-based discussions involving Pakistani and Pakistani American communities in the US. The opinions and perspectives shall be documented in a report that will nationally released later this year.
To participate, contact Freedom Forward: freedomforward1@gmail.com

According to U.S. military adviser David Kilcullen, 98% of the victims of U.S. drone missile attacks in Pakistan have been innocent civilians. Now Vice President Biden wants to expand these attacks.
Click here to say no.
Drone missile attacks kill innocent Pakistani civilians, undermine U.S. political objectives, and fail to weaken Taliban or Al Qaeda forces. At a time when Vice President Biden is arguing for more drone missile strikes, our policymakers need to hear from us.

Your message will arrive in the specific inboxes of the officials responsible for U.S. foreign policy — not some generic email folder.
