Dear Friend,
Last week, the Trump administration expanded its discriminatory Muslim Ban
to include: Sudan, Tanzania, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, and Nigeria--
Africa’s largest economy, affecting nearly a quarter of people living on
the continent. People like Miriam Nwegbe, a Nigerian woman who was
planning to reunite with her husband living in Baltimore, are now in a
state of shock and despair.[1] Too many families have been separated by
the Trump administration’s horrific policies that have banned immigration
from Muslim countries.[2] America is supposed to be a place that values
freedom of religion, so let’s make it that way!
[ [link removed] ]Today, tell Congress to Repeal the Ban and pass the NO BAN Act!
The “Muslim Ban” is not only separating families who are waiting to be
reunited with loved ones, it is also keeping children and families from
seeking asylum and refuge, and students from receiving and completing
their education. The National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for
Non-immigrants Act, S.1123 / H.R.2214 (“NO BAN Act”) is an important civil
rights bill that would end the Muslim Ban and amend the Immigration and
Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion,
ensuring that no president can ever again ban people from a certain
religion or an entire community.
[ [link removed] ]No one should be turned away because of their religion or where they
come from! Support your immigrant neighbors by signing our petition urging
your members of Congress to sponsor and pass the NO BAN Act immediately.
This ban is an attempt to illegally legislate discrimination and separate
more families --not about safety. It’s premise is rooted in President
Trump’s desire to exclude Black and brown immigrants, a trend we’ve seen
throughout American history over and over again.[3]
We are saying, ‘NO MORE” and “No Muslim Ban Ever!”
This ban flies in the face of the American values we hold dear. It’s
unlawful. It’s also hurting families, neighbors, and children; harming our
economy, damaging our national security, and undermining the fundamental
values of our nation. It needs to go!
[ [link removed] ]If we don’t stop the Trump administration now, they will continue to
create immigration policies based on racial and religious discrimination.
Instead, we need to join together with people across racial and religious
differences to demand fair and safe immigration processes for all
families, just like we won civil rights in the past. Sign our petition and
urge Congress to pass the NO BAN Act today!
We must do all we can to stop the Trump administration’s discriminatory
practices against Muslim and immigrant people and we must act NOW.
P.S. The Penn State Law Center for Immigrants’ Rights Clinic (CIRC) has
curated a document with resources and information on the travel/Muslim
ban. [ [link removed] ]Click here to check out the fact sheet![4]
