Dear John,
Good news! The House of Representatives voted to pass the NO BAN Act on Wednesday afternoon.

For more than three years, the Trump administration has done what it can to stop Muslims, refugees, asylum seekers, and many others from entering our country. The passage of the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants (NO BAN) Act is a major step toward ending discrimination in our immigration laws and policies.
We wanted to thank you for your help over the years. HIAS supporters have sent tens of thousands of messages, conducted more than 100 meetings with members of Congress, attended rallies and press conferences, made phone calls, held community forums, and joined in partnership with hundreds of other community groups… all to make sure that this historic legislation passed the House.
Although we still have miles to walk, this is a step in the right direction. So let’s pause and recognize this win, and thank you for all that you do.
