We urge you to show real leadership in protecting the people of Syria with a more creative, effective, and prudent approach than military action.
• Galvanize world leaders to demand a multilateral cease-fire
• Arrange to evacuate people who choose to flee harm’s way
• Care for the evacuees
• Assist with re-settlement once the civil war has ended.
Do not be fooled into thinking that war-making will protect or defend a population.
Why is this important?
President Obama is poised to send air strikes to Syria under allegations Assad has used chemical weapons. There has been zero evidence presented to the American people of Assad's involvement. On the contrary, there are reports the "attack" was actually due to rebel forces mishandling chemicals sent by Saudi Arabia. Military intervention will neither protect nor defend the people of Syria and will only create more enemies in the Middle East. The U.S. public does not support military intervention.
