49 U.S. states and over 2 dozen countries, including 14 NATO allies, have passed Genocide Resolutions. It’s time for Congress to act. There is an historic parallel today as Turkey is once again engaging in ethnic cleansing, this time against the Kurds in Syria.

This resolution not only honors and commemorates my ancestors who perished but all those who were lost in the first genocide of the 20th Century.

Thank you Congresswoman for your support in the passage of this resolution! We have protected Turkey far too long, enabling them to act with impunity.
