Advocacy

The Syrian Emergency Task Force advocates for a democratic future for Syria.

Our team meets regularly with Members of Congress and their staff for briefings on the latest developments on the ground in Syria, as well as on other relevant aspects of domestic and foreign policy, and to draft and pass relevant legislation. In Congress, we periodically organize, by working with the leadership of the relevant Committees, hearings in which first-hand witnesses are able to publicly address large groups of Members and recount their experiences. We work with Senators and Representatives from both sides of the aisle in equal measure, and our team has been one of the driving forces behind the bipartisan repeal of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act in 2025. We also regularly engage with other branches of the US government, UN bodies, agencies and missions, European governments, and other relevant stakeholders. 

 

Part of our advocacy work consists of building trusting relationships with officials and their staff in order to be as effective as possible. To this end, we facilitate visits to Syria for bipartisan congressional delegations, where they have a chance to meet with Syrian government officials and other relevant groups.
