Urge Congress and the Administration to support an immediate ceasefire and a negotiated agreement to end the war in Syria. The human costs of the war in Syria are staggering. The United Nations has issued an unprecedented appeal for $6.5 billion to meet humanitarian needs within Syria and neighboring countries. But these needs will only continue to grow exponentially until the violence is stopped. On January 22, a “Geneva II” peace conference is scheduled to take place, following up on an earlier conference. The Geneva II meeting, which the Syrian government and the Syrian opposition have agreed to attend, is seen by many as the best chance for reaching the immediate goal of a ceasefire and laying the groundwork for a longer-term political agreement that guarantees the rights of all Syrians. capwiz/pcusa/issues/alert/?alertid=63059351&type=ML
