(LOS ANGELES, CA – 1/23/2025) – On Saturday, Jan. 25, the Syrian American Council (SAC) will hold a rally for community members to call for the removal of U.S. sanctions on Syria.
After the fall of the brutal Assad regime, Syria is facing a critical moment in its recovery. SAC is urgently calling on lawmakers to support lifting the existing sanctions on Syria and enable economic recovery and foster peace and a democratic transition in the region.
In a statement, SAC Director of Community and Partner Relations Suzanne Meriden said:
“The Syrian people have endured decades of conflict, and now they face the daunting task of rebuilding their country and their lives. Lifting sanctions will help build a better, more stable Syria by reducing the region’s reliance on aid and promoting democratic progress in the country. It is time for our officials to urge the administration to lift the sanctions on the Syrian people and allow them to look toward a future of peace and stability.”
