Middle East Christians are facing ongoing persecution and death. ISIS is waging genocide against Christians, Yezidis, and other religious minorities in the region.
As Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and Congressman Jeff Fortenberry requested in a bipartisan letter this week to President Obama: we call on your administration to work with local forces, the Iraqi and Kurdish governments, neighboring countries, and other key stakeholders to help secure safe havens for religious minorities Syria and Iraq and to provide adequate assistance to displaced persons both inside and outside established refugee camps. The President should also appoint a Special Envoy for Religious Minorities in the Middle East.
