Our communication networks include:

Humanitarian Resource Institute is on top of policy development 24/7, with initiatives reaching the decision making levels in 3100 United States counties to the grassroots level in 195 United Nations member countries.  In reality, every individual that moves forward with a response is an HRI Goodwill Ambassador.

Our efforts to move beyond the background discussions to to the grassroots population base is the objective of the "Arts Integration Into Education" initiative and focused work with the music and entertainment industry.
