John,
A few days ago, we emailed you about Trump’s new travel ban that affects 19 countries and targeting mostly African and Muslim-majority nations.
Now, we just learned that Trump administration is preparing to triple that list.
According to a leaked State Department memo, up to 36 additional countries could soon face full or partial bans. That would bring the total to more than 50 nations — nearly all of them home to Black, brown, or Muslim-majority populations.
This is discrimination at a global scale, and it’s happening right now. We need to take immediate action.
Add your name: Tell Congress to pass the NO BAN Act
Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s memo uses thinly veiled excuses to justify the bans: vague accusations of “fraud,” “unreliable documents,” and “anti-American activity.” No due process. No hearings. No transparency. No justice. We cannot let this become the norm.
We need Congress before even more families are torn apart, students are denied visas, and entire communities are locked out of our country.
Thank you,
Democratic Values

Subject: Trump’s travel ban is racist. Congress must act now.
To: You@demvalues.com>
John,
Trump’s new travel ban officially went into effect this past Monday.
Now, people from 19 countries, most of them in Africa and the Middle East, are banned or severely restricted from entering the U.S. This reckless and racist ban is tearing families apart. Our country is turning away refugees. Students, workers, and loved ones are being denied entry — just because of where they’re from.
This is just the latest evidence of the GOP’s blatant racism and xenophobia. We need to do everything in our power to stop it.
We’re calling on Congress to pass the NO BAN Act, which would:
- Prohibit discrimination based on religion or nationality in immigration
- Limit presidential authority to impose broad travel bans
- Require congressional oversight of future restrictions
Sign on now to join us and tell Congress: pass the NO BAN Act now →
Trump is trying to justify this cruelty with talk of “security” and “screening,” we know this isn’t about safety. It’s about abusing his executive power to punish people for who they are, what they believe, and where they’re from.
We've seen this before during Trump’s first term. We remember the chaos at airports. The heartbreak of hundreds of thousands of families. The injustice dealt out with no recourse. Now it's happening again — and this time, it’s on an even bigger scale.
Our lawmakers need to hear from us, because:
- We won’t stand by while our neighbors are demonized.
- We won’t allow Trump to keep using fear as a weapon.
- We won’t stop until this ban is gone for good.
Act now: sign on to urge Congress to pass the NO BAN Act »
Thank you for taking action,
