With the United States' flagrant violations of international law laid bare in our nation's media, it's extremely important to educate future generations about the importance of world consensus.

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, the American Red Cross has designed its first ever petition. The goal? Incorporate lessons about this framework of laws into curriculums nationwide. As an organization designed to assuage suffering and injustices around the world, the Red Cross believes it is necessary to spread its message to a generation of future policymakers. You can be a part of this new wave of compassion here.
