Stop Turkey from bombing the Kurds

The Issue

Kurdish fighters on the ground in Syria and Iraq, with US air support, have fought heroically against ISIS and defended the region's Kurds, Christians, Ezidi and other religious minorities. Turkey, now claiming to be joining the air war against ISIS, has in fact mainly bombed Kurdish targets in Syria and in Iraq, killing both Kurdish fighters and dozens if not hundreds of innocent civilians. Turkey is a NATO ally of the US. We ask you to urge Prime Minister Erdogan to stop undermining the US fight against ISIS, stop the Turkish air war against Kurdish fighters and stop the Turkish air war against innocent Kurdish civilians.
