Tell Congress: Don’t Let Trump Turn His Back on Refugees

From Amnesty International USA (http://www.amnestyusa.org):

This week, President Trump launched missile strikes on a Syrian airbase. He said he did it because he was concerned for the lives of Syrians but his policies say otherwise.

If Trump really wants to help the victims of war, he needs to stop turning his back on refugees. Syrian refugees are fleeing horrific violence, and this escalating violence only makes it more urgent that we support them.

We’ve all seen the horrific images from Syria—ground covered with lifeless bodies, many of them children, have shocked the world and stunned our collective conscience.

A doctor in Idlib told Amnesty, “Children are the first ones to die, they cannot fight this back. We only had one child who, thank God, survived.” No one should ever have to utter those words.

People fleeing this unimaginable violence need protection. Instead, Trump has banned refugees, like the ones fleeing violence in Syria, and is trying to cut funding for them. We can’t let this happen.

Tell Congress: If you care about Syrians, you must stop Trump’s anti-refugee agenda.

Over six years of armed conflict, the people of Syria have suffered. Nearly five million Syrians are living outside the country as refugees. The chemical weapons attack showed in devastating detail the violence Syrians are fleeing.

We can’t turn our back on the people of Syria. Thank you for taking action.
