ADFA’s Work Reaches Congress, the State Department, and the White House

ADFA's ongoing work to document the situation for Christians, Druze, Alawites, and other indigenous minorities in Syria has now reached the U.S. Congress, the State Department, and the White House. The testimony is now published on the USCIRF website, marking another important step in a process ADFA has been committed to throughout 2025. Earlier this year, ADFA also contributed to USCIRF’s July Policy Update on Syria, part of our continued efforts to provide accurate information, raise awareness, and advocate for vulnerable communities at every level.
