Friend,

Donald Trump has revived his immigration ban, outright banning travel from
12 countries, restricting travel from 7 more, and issuing warnings to 36
other countries that they could be next.(1)

We are a nation of Indigenous and immigrants, and California is home to
the largest immigrant population of any state. We know that banning people
from specific countries, based on their religion, doesn’t make us any
safer. That’s why we’re going all in on supporting the NO BAN Act,
introduced by Rep. Judy Chu and Sen. Christopher Coons earlier this year.

the NO BAN Act?

Banning travel from Muslim-majority countries is a reprise of Trump’s
disastrous first-term. Aside from being inhumane and immoral, this ban is
also antithetical to the globalized nature of the world we live in.
Experts are already pointing out how such bans could impede the flow of
knowledge and research, stymying research and innovation advances.(2)

The NO BAN Act aims to stop the xenophobic overreach of this
administration. If passed, it will prevent future travel bans by
prohibiting discrimination based on religion, limiting executive authority
on immigration policy, and requiring congressional consultation on future
attempts to restrict people’s travel.

The best time to pass this legislation was earlier this year, before the
administration’s latest ban threw thousands of lives into chaos. But, the
next best time is now.

and pass the NO BAN Act?

Thank you for being in the fight!
