Support organizations fighting the #MuslimBan
The ban on Muslims and shut down of our borders are the first steps in a Trump-era agenda that criminalize entire communities based on their nationality and origin. In this country, we do not ban, register, or deport people based on their background or identity. Now is the time to resist.
Read moreTell your representatives: Say no to ban on Muslims & shutdown of borders
Urge your elected officials to publicly call out Trump's executive orders on immigrants and refugees and stand up for those who are being unjustly targeted. The ban on Muslims and shutdown of our borders are the first steps in a Trump-era agenda that criminalizes entire communities based on their nationality and origin. In this nation of diverse communities, we do not ban, register, or deport people based on their background or identity. We are better than state-sanctioned bigotry.

Trump’s ban on Muslims, shut down of borders criminalize our communities
Our country is a nation of diverse communities with people of all identities and backgrounds. Through our constitution and our core American values of freedom and equality, we promise to protect all people no matter their ethnicity, race, faith, sexual orientation, or gender. When these values are not upheld, we must call out the hate and discrimination and stand up for those who are unjustly targeted.
The Trump administration is turning bigoted rhetoric that was the foundation of Trump’s presidential campaign into bigoted policy, less than a week into holding office. The ban on Muslims and shut down of our borders are the first steps in a Trump-era agenda that criminalizes entire communities based on their nationality and origin. In this country, we do not ban, register, or deport people based on their background or identity. We are better than state-sanctioned bigotry.
