Founding

The founder Kirk Johnson, was a "former USAID worker who served as regional coordinator on reconstruction in Fallujah throughout 2005."[4] After being contacted by an Iraqi colleague with whom he served, Johnson wrote an article in the Los Angeles Times[5] lamenting the delays in visa handling for these interpreters. This article resulted in a surge of letters from other Iraqi interpreters and prompted the creation of The List Project.[4]
