We are proud to announce that the House of Representatives has passed the NO BAN Act!

In response to former-president Donald Trump’s Muslim Ban, Congress has been seeking legislative means to rescind the ban and amend the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to ensure that future administrations are unable to enact such a discriminatory ban again. As of today, we are one step closer to achieving this goal!

The House has passed the NO BAN Act, which imposes limitations on the President's authority to suspend or restrict immigrants from entering the United States, while prohibiting religious discrimination in various immigration-related decisions (i.e. issuing immigrant or non-immigrant visas).

From the first day the Muslim Ban was enacted, Emgage Action worked alongside partners to engage with members of Congress and center the voices of afflicted communities to end this bigoted policy. We also worked with the Biden Administration, who, for the first time, promised to repeal the Muslim Ban at Emgage's 'Million Muslim Votes Summit'. Today, we are grateful to our coalition partners and advocates like you who helped lead us to this historic day. We believe no human is illegal, no human can be banned, and no human is unwelcome.

"The Muslim Ban has separated families, promoted divisive rhetoric hostile to Muslims, and irrevocably harmed American communities of color. Today, the House passed the NO BAN Act, providing our communities with the safety that similar bans would not be adopted in the future. Congress has signaled its commitment to ending these discriminatory policies which unjustly single out Black and Brown communities." - Iman Awad, Deputy Director of Emgage Action

Our next step is to engage advocates like you to help introduce and pass the NO BAN Act in the Senate.
