The Club has used the anniversary of Jamal's death to call attention to his case every year and will continue to do so.

Calls on journalists to answer pitches from the Edelman PR firm (which represents Saudi Arabia for the LIV account) by asking how the employee feels about working for a firm representing a client that thinks it is acceptable to use a bone saw on a journalist.
Calls on people who live in Washington, D.C. or are visiting to take a photo of the new street sign "Jamal Khashoggi Way" outside the Saudi Embassy and post on social media.
