Join us in telling Obama that violent intervention in Syria is not the answer to resolving the conflict. We need to redirect our military dollars towards immediate humanitarian aid, refocus on urgent peace talks, halt sales to authoritarian regimes and honor the voices of nonviolent resistance. We don’t want another war!

To President Obama, As concerned citizens of the United States and as firm believers in a peaceful world, we urge you to reconsider military intervention in Syria. Not only is the American public opposed to embarking upon yet another war, intervention is counterproductive to ending the conflict in the region by further instigating a cycle of violence, retaliation and bloodshed. There are already 100,000 dead Syrians, and we cannot have any more. We oppose the violence inflicted upon the Syrians by the Assad regime, but do not believe that military intervention is the key to peace.
