While sectarian violence continues to grow and spread in Syria, more than 5 million Syrian children are suffering as a result of a horrific conflict – one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time - which is now stretching into its third year.
This proxy war has cost thousands of lives and will cost thousands more unless the international community comes together to stop it. We demand that the U.S. government push the United Nations to do more, faster, in their efforts to resolve this conflict peacefully. We also demand more humanitarian aid be sent directly to the Syrian refugees in neighboring countries. We demand an expedited process & visa waiver to accept Syrian refugees into the US, particularly families with children.
There is no excuse for the suffering & death of children.
