We are a US small business in San Francisco, California, specializing in travel bookings for international summer camps. Our business has dropped precipitously in the midst of its high season due to the escalation of the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine. The dramatic decline started with university protests demanding a ceasefire in mid-April - we offer pre-college summer programs on campus at UCLA, UC Berkeley, Columbia, Yale & Harvard, etc., all have been affected.

Small businesses across various sectors such as import-export, travel agencies, universities, language schools, and anyone involved in international student recruitment or travel are facing similar hardships. These businesses are crucial to our economy and community but are struggling without adequate support.

We urge the government to provide disaster relief for these small businesses affected by international conflicts - through the SBA or other mechanisms. Please sign this petition to help us secure the necessary aid to survive these challenging times. COVID was a huge challenge to our in-person businesses, we are finally recovering only to encounter this.
