From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):
The administration has repeatedly attacked refugees, asylum seekers, and our Muslim neighbors. Through a series of refugee, asylum, and Muslim bans, the administration has prolonged family separation, undermined our moral and legal obligations to the most vulnerable, and discriminated against people based of their faith or nationality. It is more important than ever for Members of Congress to hear that the faith community supports principles of religious freedom and our moral obligation to welcome.
The NO BAN Act is legislation that will be introduced next week that would ensure that no one is banned from our country based on religious or nationality-based discrimination. Join us in calling on all Members of Congress to cosponsor the NO BAN Act and be bold in choosing moral, just policies that provide refuge for vulnerable individuals seeking protection.

Sample Script: “I’m your constituent from [CITY/TOWN], and [as a person of faith] I urge you to stand against hate and cosponsor the NO BAN Act. This bill would ensure that no one is banned from our country based on religious or nationality-based discrimination. In the last two years, the administration has repeatedly tried to ban refugees, asylum seekers, Muslim neighbors, and other vulnerable populations from the United States. My community is still feeling the negative impacts of these immoral and wrongful bans that continue to tear apart families. No one should be blocked from entering the country just because of their faith tradition or where they come from. I call on you to protect our Muslim, refugee, and asylum seeking neighbors and support the NO BAN Act today.”

Our Muslim and refugee neighbors and friends live under the threat of rising anti-Muslim sentiment and the cruelty of being separated from their loved ones by the #MuslimBan & #refugeeban. That’s why we need to #RepealTheBan NOW.
The refugee ban is still separating people like our client Afkab Hussein from his wife and young son that’s he’s never been able to meet because of the policy. We need to #RepealTheBan. Call today. #NoBanAct Nobanact.org
