Jack,



The Trump administration announced a travel ban targeting millions of people
simply because of where they are from.



We’ve seen this before. We know the pain it causes. Families kept apart.
Entire communities told they don’t belong.



And once again, we’re being called to respond—with clarity, with compassion,
and with courage.



Tell President Trump we won’t stand for travel bans.

In 2017, during Trump’s first presidency, a similar ban created chaos at
airports — people were blocked from entering the U.S. after travel — and
sparked protests around the country.



So many like you in the HIAS community joined us in that moment — speaking
out, protesting, and standing up for those being targeted — and today,I’m
asking for you to join us again.



The Trump administration's new travel will have broad and damaging impacts:

* With few exceptions, people from 19 countries will be fully or partially
barred from the country for reasons as varied as studying in college, traveling
as tourists, or visiting family for the holidays.
* Refugees from the countries on the travel ban list will be pushed into
further uncertainty about if they will ever be able to be resettled to the U.S.
* The ban further targets Haitians, Venezuelans and Cubans, right after the
termination of humanitarian parole programs for these communities.
* It will keep the best and the brightest students and entrepreneurs from
coming and contributing to the United States.


Jack, for more than 120 years, HIAS has been fighting to uphold our country’s
legacy as a beacon of hope.



We fought back in 1924 when the Johnson-Reed Act, a chillingly similar policy
to today’s travel ban imposed severe immigration quotas for people from certain
countries and slammed the door, for decades, on Jewish refugees.



We fought back in 2017 when the first Trump administration travel ban was
announced.



Now, with your help, we must renew our vow to fight back against the belief
that someone is a threat simply because of where they are born. Act now >>
