Trump’s ban prohibits people from 19 different countries from traveling to the United States. We should call this for what it is: a xenophobic ban that targets Black and Brown communities. Families will be torn apart. U.S. citizens and green card holders will be unable to reunite with their loved ones. Even emergency travel to visit a dying relative would be denied. Moments like this remind us why public resistance is critical, friend. When Trump issued his first Muslim Ban in 2017, thousands of people protested at airports to demand justice for those detained or turned away. The national outcry sparked a movement, galvanized communities, and sent a clear message: we won’t stay silent in the face of cruelty. Now, as similar threats resurface, we must show up again — louder, stronger, and more united than ever. Together, we must call on our members of Congress to stand up for our immigrant neighbors. One immediate step they can take is to cosponsor the NO BAN Act, which would limit overly broad executive authority used to issue travel bans like this one. Take action now: Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the NO BAN Act >>> If they’ve already cosponsored the bill, you can urge them to take the next step and bring the bill to a vote.
