Washington, DC – <\/strong>Thousands of new Armenian Americans are having their voices heard in the halls of government \u2013 at the federal, state, and local levels \u2013 thanks to the Armenian National Committee of America\u2019s (ANCA) Rapid Responder program.<\/p>\n


\nThe first three months of 2019 saw record-level engagement in the program, which empowers activists to rapidly respond every time the ANCA posts an action alert on issues ranging from justice for the Armenian Genocide and freedom for Artsakh to stronger U.S.-Armenia relations. By registering, responders get a 24-hour preview of letters being sent on their behalf to key decision-makers, with an opt-out option, before messages are sent on their behalf.<\/p>\n

The strongest growth during the first quarter of 2019 was among Armenian School students, including the hundreds that visited the ANCA on field trips to Washington, DC. Seniors and retired Armenian Americans also saw meaningful growth, as did Armenian Americans from non-traditional communities \u2013 ranging from Alaska to Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANCA Rapid Responder program is a low-maintenance, high-impact, user-friendly advocacy tool,\u201d shared ANCA Government Affairs Director Tereza Yerimyan. \u201cWith Armenian issues developing so quickly on Capitol Hill, hours matter and sometimes even minutes count. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so essential for legislators to hear right away from their voters. Our Rapid Responders deliver the impact we need \u2013 on time and on target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Becoming an ANCA Rapid Responder is a quick and easy two-step process.\u00a0 Interested advocates first visit http:\/\/anca.org\/rapid<\/a>, fill in their name, address, phone, and email and click \u201cSign Me Up!\u201d \u00a0Next participants are asked to reply to a Rapid Responder confirmation email. Once registered, participants will receive specialized Rapid Responder updates sharing action items for their review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
