On every corner of the planet, we are marching, in red, to save the city of Aleppo. Its civilians, rescue workers and doctors are being killed by the dozens in regime airstrikes. Join us in protest in every country of the world. In New York City our voice is crucial before the United Nations, which is where the protest was arranged

“I cannot express how high the stakes are for the next hours and days,” Jan Egeland the UN humanitarian task force on Syria said regarding Aleppo, which has suffered “a catastrophic deterioration”

In solidarity with the people of Aleppo and every single Syrian living under regime and Russian airstrikes, in regime detention and under regime siege, lets send a strong message to the UN and the world in global support

The humanitarian catastrophe currently destroying Syria demands the concern and efforts of the international community, as we have been demanding civilian protection from the indiscriminate aerial bombardment for over four years
