Approximately 400 people gathered on Delmar Boulevard on Sunday evening for STL for Syria’s #BringThemHere march, which called for the government to accept as many Syrian refugees as possible into St. Louis.
Photos went viral in early September of a young Syrian boy washed up on a Turkish beach. The boy, along with his brother and mother, had drowned while trying to flee from Turkey to the Greek Island of Kos, sparking debate about immigration policies surrounding an ongoing and escalating Syrian refugee crisis.
