PFAW Member,
Over three years ago, President Trump initiated a Muslim Ban targeting immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries based on their religion or religious heritage. In February, Trump expanded this ban to include six additional countries, four of which are African countries, bringing the total to 13 banned countries
The Muslim Ban has had a devastating impact on everyday Americans. It cruelly separates tens of thousands of American families, fuels anti-Muslim and racist violence, hurts our economy, and violates our country’s core principles of religious freedom and equal treatment under the law. There is no evidence that banning babies and grandmothers makes us safer.
Congress has the power to stop this injustice once and for all.
The NO BAN Act is a strong response to Trump’s Muslim Ban that would not only stop the current ban but ensure no one can be banned from our country based on religious or nationality-based discrimination ever again. The bill would outlaw future discrimination in the entry of noncitizens, and would repeal the asylum ban and extreme restrictions currently in place to prevent refugees from entering the country. The bill also puts accountability and due process safeguards in place.
Just next week there is going to be a floor vote in the House on this incredibly important bill, which would be a much-needed check on the racist policies of the Trump administration. We need to keep building on the momentum of the nationwide demand for this policy to end.
The NO BAN Act is a clear rebuke to the harms caused by the Trump administration’s policies. Congress must act to ensure that no one can be banned from our country based on their religion or nationality.
Be sure to add your name now and help propel this bill across the finish line in the House! >>
Thanks for all that you do,
- Zach, PFAW
