Syria Support Movement solidarity with the Syrian people
Hands off Syria!
The Syria Solidarity Movement is one of many groups working for justice in Syria, not all with the same vision. This is as it should be in a democratic movement that respects different points of view.
However, we know that there are also groups that are working against justice and democracy. For the most part, they consist of western foreign powers and Arab monarchies that see an advantage in destroying Syria as an integral, sovereign state and as a society. The Syria Solidarity Movement therefore supports the removal of thousands of non-Syrian fighters as the first order of business, without which a settlement amongst Syrians is unlikely if not impossible.
In the meantime, we will continue to bring news and information not widely represented in the Western media, and to advocate for an end to outside interference, the removal of foreign arms, funding, logistic support and fighters from the Syrian struggle, and for humanitarian support for the millions of Syrians displaced and suffering because of the fighting. Only the Syrian people can decide their affairs and chart a way for a better future.
We welcome your support in this important work.
The SSM Steering Committee
Later in the year, we propose to have a North America conference or possibly separate US and Canadian conferences to bring together supporters of an independent Syria, free of foreign intervention and opposed to efforts by Western and regional powers to impose their will upon the people of Syria.
In addition, we hope to bring additional Syrian voices to speak in North America, as did Mother Agnes Mariam of the Cross in November and December, 2013, and possibly a return of Mother Agnes herself.
