3 Days Left!!!!

Hello,

I wanted to steal 1 minute of your time in support of North Korean refugees seeking asylum in the US. Arguably the most isolated country in the world, North Korean refugees have no hope for a chance at freedom without the help of caring citizens around the world. 5 days is not a whole lot of time for us, but 5 days seems like a lifetime for these refugees.

American Express is holding a competition for the top 25 (out of 1190) 'positive impact' projects to share 2.5 million in funding. Under Liberty in North Korea, the Liberty House program was submitted into the competition, a refugee resettlement center that houses, supports, and creates a community for North Korean refugees resettling in the US. If awarded, these funds will FULLY and DIRECTLY be used to help NK refugees resettle in the US and in South Korea, apply for scholarships and mini-grants, and ultimately provide them with practical ways to reach a life of freedom. A small group of us worked on the Liberty House project for many months, so we are very excited to see this come to fruition.

There are only 3 days left to nominate LiNK's "Liberty House" - an initiative to assist North Korean refugees seeking asylum in the United States - for consideration in the American Express Members Project competition.
The winning project will be awarded $1.5 million, while second and third place projects will win $500,000 and $300,000 respectively. Two finalists will also win $100,000 each.

We're currently in 39th place, so these next 5 days are crucial to get us to the Top 25.
