At the Power of One exhibit at Bumbershoot this year, 2 old-style red desk phones (like the ones used for direct emergency talks during the Cold War) will be set up. A phone call from each phone in the US is placed to a volunteer in Iran. The phone calls run continuously for 2 hours, and during that time, we invite passers-by to have a 5-minute chat with someone in Iran. Iranian volunteers are welcome to invite friends and family to join them so they can pass their phone around as well. Each phone in the US has a second line to be used by a translator. Iranians and Americans are welcome to talk about anything they like - the only requirement is that people be respectful.
IACA will be leading this effort and is looking for both Coordination Volunteers to interact with the public and troubleshoot as well as Farsi-English Translators that are willing to offer their time for this great event. All volunteers will receive free admission to bumbershoot the day that they are volunteering.
