From Amnesty International USA (http://www.amnestyusa.org):
We must make sure that every Member of Congress stands up against the discriminatory Muslim Ban that violates international human rights law. You can help stop the devastating impact that President Trump’s Executive Order will have on some of the most vulnerable populations in the world by signing up to lobby today.
Sign up to lobby and tell Congress to stand up to the Ban.
Over the next couple of weeks, your Members of Congress will be in district and will need to hear from you. When you sign up to lobby, you will be joining together with Amnesty activists from all over the United States to stand up for what is right. Together we will meet with our Members of Congress and tell them that this new version of Trump’s Executive Order is just another attempt at an illegal Muslim Ban. We need our own elected officials to stand up to this discrimination.
For those new to the process, lobbying is incredibly fun and empowering. We all have the right to make our voices heard on human rights. WE are our elected officials’ bosses – not the other way around. Grassroots lobbying is especially powerful because Amnesty activists represent a movement of passionate human rights defenders who are standing up to say “No Ban No Wall”!
Once you sign up, you will be connected to someone like me. You don’t need to be an issue expert to lobby both effectively and powerfully. We will give you all the tools and training you need to advocate on behalf of human rights.
Change must happen at all levels and it starts with us. Use this opportunity to make your voice heard.
