We, the undersigned organizations, call on the Trump Administration to use U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to the Middle East to take meaningful steps to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people and support regional efforts to stabilize and rebuild Syria.

The time has come for decisive action to empower Syrians to rebuild their lives.
