What started out with the purity of a bottle of water and a single rose, was soon met with live ammunition and barrel bombs. Five years ago, Syrians went out into the streets peacefully demonstrating for freedom and dignity but instead they have lost family, homes and lives at the hands of the Syrian regime and its allies.
To honor our brothers and sisters who peacefully seek justice, reform and freedom, the Syrian American community will commemorate the Syrian Revolution's 5th Anniversary with a weekend of events in Washington, D.C. March 18 – 20.
Join us for three days of advocacy, policy, humanitarian relief, a rally uniting all of us for freedom and an exclusive advanced screening of Little Gandhi: The Lost Truth of The Syrian Uprising.
Together, we will shed light on the lost truth of the uprising and chart a course to freedom for Syria.
