Orphans Deserve Better Campaign Echoes
[Alliance Newsletter, July 2009] Congratulations to all who joined in the Alliance's Orphans Deserve Better campaign. With their united voice, Alliance members set this modest-sized grassroots campaign echoing across the country and beyond. Coverage has included an expansive number of online articles and newspaper pieces, from the New York Time Magazine, to Town Hall, blog posts, radio interviews and television coverage. Together, participants in the campaign have helped ensure that the distorted impressions about orphans and adoption fed by the film are not absorbed by the public without being challenged. Warner Bros' has also indicated it may honor a key request of the campaign by adding content favorable to adoption and orphans to its DVD release. Most importantly, the campaign has seized an opportunity to help more Americans see the great needs of orphans and what we can do in response.
