The Party joined the demonstrations at the start of the 2011 Syrian uprising, and a number of its activists in Damascus, Homs and DerEzzour lost their lives at the hands of police and other services, while others were detained or arrested in other Syrian governorates.

The PWP says it seeks a comprehensive, radical and democratic change of the regime as a whole, not only the removal of President Bashar al-Assad. He called on the government to release all political detainees. He has stated that "The slogan 'the overthrow of the regime' is unpractical, unrealistic and useless", and has advocated a "complete change in the regime ... under the leadership of the President". He described any western interference in Syrian affairs as an "occupation" and said that dialogue was the only way to settle the crisis. Economically, the party called for a reversal of the liberalisation reforms that started in 2005 and for the creation of a strong national economy. Jamil "thanked" Russia for vetoing a UN Security Council Resolution in December 2011 that would have condemned the Syrian government. The Friends of Syria Group he criticised as being a "media campaign" and "propaganda" of the western countries.
