President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin,
We, the undersigned, vehemently oppose U.S. intervention in Syria and demand the U.S. immediately stop bombing Syria, remove U.S. troops, and lift U.S. sanctions which are exacerbating an already difficult situation for the Syrian people. The U.S. has sowed chaos in Syria and the entire region for years and the Biden Administration ordering ongoing airstrikes is a disappointing sign that you have no intent on reversing your deadly policy of interventionism.
The recent airstrikes are a reckless escalation in a region already destabilized by decades of harmful U.S. policies. It is imperative that the U.S. ceases its destructive role in Syria and refrains from further military action.
U.S. interventions in Syria are entirely undemocratic. We’ve witnessed Syrian political prisoners — some of them children — being released from prisons, and Syrians exiled from their country imagining returning home for the first time ever. The Syrian people, who have been living under the tyrannical Assad regime for decades, deserve to chart their own course and decide their own future just as much as the rest of the world. U.S. intervention only creates more unrest, robbing Syrians of their ability to do so.
The U.S. cannot continue to act as an unchecked force of militarism in the world. Its attacks serve no justifiable purpose other than perpetuating endless war and expanding U.S. militarism. Syria does not need more bombs — it needs diplomacy, reconstruction, and an end to foreign interference. We’ve seen what U.S. interventionism has done to Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan – nonsensical destruction, death, and instability.
Hands off Syria NOW. Stop the strikes, end the militarism, and lift sanctions that have devastated the daily lives of the Syrian people.
