SCOTUS just ruled that Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship can go forward. Join over 88,000 MoveOn members to demand Congress reject Trump’s attacks on birthright citizenship!

Dear MoveOn member,

The Supreme Court just gave the green light for Trump to end birthright citizenship, a constitutional right that has been guaranteed under the 14th Amendment for over 150 years.¹ Birthright citizenship is the simple principle that everyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen.

John, this ruling opens the door to one of the most dangerous rollbacks of civil rights in modern U.S. history. By allowing Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship to be decided by the federal courts in select parts of the country, SCOTUS has greenlit creating a two-tiered system of citizenship.

But it doesn't have to end here. Ultimately, federal courts will have to rule on birthright citizenship, and if they rule to overturn it, it will be up to Congress to block these unconstitutional grabs at our rights. Add your name to the petition demanding Congress defend the rights of all people born in this country and reject Trump's attempts to rewrite who gets to be an American.

A newborn’s citizenship, rights, and legal protections may now hinge on their ZIP code or their family’s ability to afford a legal battle. Sign the petition to demand Congress stop our constitutional rights from being turned into privileges!

We expect our elected members of Congress to do the right thing—or be held accountable for siding with Trump’s extremist xenophobic agenda. Sign the petition to demand Congress do the right thing and vote NO on any ruling from the federal courts that overturns birthright citizenship.

Overturning birthright citizenship will affect every single person in this country and create a permanent underclass of children who are denied citizenship. Children born in U.S. hospitals may now grow up stateless, unable to access crucial social services, health care, or legal protections afforded to citizens. Parents will have to navigate a cruel and chaotic system to prove their child’s right to exist in the only country they’ve ever known.

Trump, SCOTUS, and the federal courts do not have the final say in rewriting our Constitution. Congress has the power to end this attack on our fundamental rights, and we must demand that all 535 members resoundingly vote NO on any attempts from federal courts to end birthright citizenship. Join over 88,000 MoveOn members to demand Congress reject Trump’s attacks on birthright citizenship now!

Thanks for all you do.
