James Peel was the first person to promote PLC through his own music. Peel has a narrative style that captures that twentysomething ‘tweenness and makes you feel a little less confused - if only because there is someone else alongside you with whom to sort it out.

Bryson VanCleve’s music is like Counting Crows, The Black Crowes, and Sheryl Crow thrown into a blender. VanCleve is actively promoting PLC, sharing his stage, and spreading the message of preemptive love.

In his live events Ben Moore eschews the normal frontman hype and assumes a more humble posture of leading the gathered into something more significant than himself. It’s an enjoyable, refreshing thing in which to participate. Moore has raised significant funds from album sales for the children of Iraq and actively tries to lead people into action for Iraqi children, as well as contemplation on the weightier issues of life and God. |

Levi Smith is a newcomer to the PLC camp with his witty observational approach to songwriting. We’ve been listening to Levi’s music for years - so we were thrilled when he signed on for a benefit concert for Iraqi children. |

Anadolu Sağlık Merkezi (ASM) is one of Turkey’s premier hospitals with a world class pediatric cardiac surgeon, Dr. Sertaç Çiçek. Turkey is easily one of the best options in the region for Iraqi children needing life-saving heart surgeries due to the simple travel between the two countries and the near-culture similarities. But without ASM’s extreme skill, flexibility, and kindness we would be hamstrung in our efforts to eradicate the backlog of Iraqi children waiting for these life-saving surgeries. |

A Thin Place is an international artists collective that seeks to create venues where people and communities from different backgrounds and cultures can find better understanding and co-operation together. A Thin Place’s Ben Hodson and Ian Rowlands have been particularly helpful and visionary in helping PLC promote “cooperation between communities at odds” by taking on the lion’s share of the implementation and vision for Iraq: The Forgotten Story, which debuted in the home community of A Thin Place, Luton, England. Learn more about A Thin Place here. |

Jason Boyett has been a supporter and friend of PLC since the beginning. As a freelance writer and speaker he has used his “stage” to promote our work and speak up boldly in favor of “preemptive love.” You can buy books and find the daily musings of Boyett here at his online home. |

Hey! Unite is a clothing line and a self-proclaimed cooperative of awareness. This year Hey! Unite is seeking to raise awareness for children’s issues in Iraq by donating profits from their 2008 line of designer tees to The Preemptive Love Coalition. The guys from Hey! Unite also print a number of PLC’s own shirts, designed our organization’s logo, and otherwise help The Preemptive Love Coalition fund heart surgeries and spread the unique message of proactive, preemptive, undeserved love. |

Rosa Loves makes non-profit tees for individuals around the world in need of various sorts of financial assistance. In world that so often clicks on through to the next headline, Rosa Loves maintains that everyone has a story. PLC and Rosa Loves are partnering together for a little boy named Hussein from one of the most dangerous areas of Iraq. Rosa is mobilizing its fan-base to do an act of preemptive love for Hussein and his family. Check out the wares at Rosa Loves. |

Kurdistan Save the Children offers something that truly no one else can: access to the people of Iraq and a deep understanding of their ways and their needs. Established and largely funded by the First Lady of Iraq, Hero Ibrahim Ahmed, Kurdistan Save the Children is the authority on the current health and education needs in northern Iraq. In our early days we would have been largely lost without their vast experience and network to help us navigate these difficult waters. |

Rayalla Centre is a Kurdish organization that has played an integral role in helping us secure transportation and visas for many of the children we send outside the country for medical care. Led by a famous Kurdish actor/activist and veritable Kurdish Clooney, Rayalla Centre has subsidized the costs of airfare and used their media platforms with radio and television to promote our work. |

Dreamery Films, led by Michael Dalton, has shown a great deal of passion and creativity in their work since the first time we were introduced to them in 2008. Since our meeting Dalton has led the way in documenting various PLC initiatives ranging from a longboard skate across Florida in support of Iraqi kids to making the trip out to Iraq himself to see firsthand what it’s like to live with congenital heart problems in a country that is too under-developed to offer any meaningful correction. Dalton is currently working on a feature length documentary on the work of PLC. Snippets of Dalton’s work with Dreamery Films can be found here. |

Foster (Matt) Addington, is a Florida-based photographer and has helped pushed the PLC vision forward since our early days in 2007. Addington’s passion has played out to the benefit of Iraqi kids in ways ranging from networking and landing editorial spots for PLC to the book-length photo-documentary he is currently working on after a trip to Iraq to work with the children of PLC in the summer of 2009. Addington’s portfolio can be found here. |

Cartoonist and social commentator Ben Humeniuk has been a capable and eager partner of The Preemptive Love Coalition and is always ready to bring his wit and pen to bear on our efforts to make a significant statement on behalf of Iraqi children who need heart surgeries. Much of the fodder we use in our print materials has been provided by Humeniuk as he creatively seeks to use art to mobilizes others toward preemptive love. |

Photographer Abigail Criner provided most of our studio shots and promotional pictures for various media publications that covered our work in 2008. Criner is a lot of fun to work with and extremely giving. We’re grateful to have had her on our side from the beginning. |
