Civilian Council for American Security

Civilian Council for American Security is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate Members of Congress, the Administration, and general public about the importance of a free, stable, and democratic Syria to ensure American safety and security.

The Syrian conflict has devastated the region and puts pressure on neighboring countries; It also poses a threat to our own national security and is an affront to American values.  As Syrian civilians struggle to re-build and bring back the rich, vibrant culture that once filled the country, they are also fighting enemies like ISIS and other terrorist organizations as well as a brutal regime who would seek to further devastate Syrian communities.
