I got this from Amnesty International:

Dear Tracy,
As the bloodshed in Syria escalates, desperate refugees are trying to escape the violence.
In response, Amnesty is increasing our efforts to advocate on behalf of refugees seeking safety in neighboring countries.
Please
make an urgent monthly donation to Amnesty so we can continue to
advocate for families fleeing human rights violations in Syria and
around the world.
More than 1.3 million Syrian refugees are
trying to escape the ongoing bloodshed by fleeing to Jordan, Lebanon,
Turkey and Iraq.
Many refugees attempting to cross into
neighboring Turkey have been stopped, leaving people stranded inside
Syria in terrible conditions. Credible reports have also emerged of
refugees being forced to return to Syria.
In the face of this
mounting crisis, Amnesty is pressuring the international community to
provide badly needed financial assistance to support the efforts made by
Syria's neighboring countries.
We are also documenting the
abuses experienced by civilians who remain in Syria. Our team of
researchers on the ground found evidence that government forces bombed
entire neighborhoods and targeted residential areas with long-range
surface-to-surface missiles.
Amnesty has a strong track record
of using our on-the-ground findings to pressure governments and the
United Nations Security Council to hold those responsible for the
slaughter of civilians accountable.
But we can't do it without
your support. We accept no money from governments for our research or
advocacy -- as it would compromise our efforts. Will you make a monthly donation to strengthen our work to help end the crisis and take action for the people of Syria? It's a convenient, effective way to stand up for human rights each and every day of the year. Donate now.
Sincerely,
Sunjeev Bery
Advocacy Director, Middle East North Africa
