Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids.
John, did you see my last message?
In war-torn countries like Syria, an entire generation of children has been shaped by conflict. They’ve survived the unthinkable – but most still don’t have the resources they need to thrive.
No home. No school. No medicine. No clean water or nutritious meals.
Every child deserves stability, even in the face of disaster. Please, speak up for World Refugee Awareness Month. [[link removed]]

Over 70% of Syria’s population needs desperate humanitarian aid. As families endure their 14th year of war, please urge Congress to send support. It’s the only way to save kids’ lives. [[link removed]]

John,
In honor of World Refugee Awareness Month, I’d like to share some words from a colleague of mine.
Rasha works for our sister organization, Save the Children – but first, she lived through the horrors of displacement.
Before war broke out, Rasha had a happy childhood in Syria. Her father, a doctor, provided a stable education and a comfortable home.
Today, doctors in Syria’s capital earn just $26 a month. The country Rasha grew up in is collapsing by the hour – 90% of people are in economic freefall, while electricity shortages plunge entire villages into darkness.
And the violence is only escalating. Will you urge lawmakers to send lifesaving support? [[link removed]]
John, 120,000 Syrians have become refugees since last October. 15-year-old Saleh* survived a bullet wound and made it to safety – losing his sister, father, uncle and grandfather along the way.
He lives in a displacement camp now, where humanitarian aid provides temporary relief. But Rasha knows that isn’t enough.
“I do not want to plead year after year for a piece of diminishing funding,” she says, “to ensure people get clean water or hospitals have basic equipment.”
Kids like Saleh just want to be kids again, John. Join Rasha in fighting for stronger humanitarian support – the kind that gets to the root of families’ suffering. [[link removed]]
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
