Greeks and the White House

Are there 25,000 Greek Americans who are ready to stand up for Greek Orthodox Christians this holiday season?

HALC is launching a petition asking President Obama to respond to the fact that religious minorities need protection across the globe, and we need your help.

In Turkey alone — which boasts a population of over 75 million — the number of Greek Orthodox Christians has plummeted to just 3,500 because the Turkish government refuses to grant the Greek Orthodox Church its full religious freedom. In occupied Cyprus, Turkish forces have stopped Christmas liturgy from being celebrated by enclaved Orthodox Christians. In Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, religious minorities are unable to worship in peace this holiday season.

Under the White House rules, if we can find 25,000 people to sign the petition, the White House will have to issue a response.Can you help us reach our goal?
