From Amnesty International USA (http://www.amnestyusa.org):
“He cried in my arms for many minutes, while I tried to reassure him…His grief and anxiety were a direct consequence of the evolving confusion around the executive order.”
That’s what Rep. Beyer of Virginia, who has been at Dulles airport meeting with families affected by President Trump’s Muslim ban, said of a man he met who had worked for the U.S. Army in Iraq.
Despite the news this past weekend about a strong court ruling, the Muslim ban is still wreaking havoc for thousands of people, including many who have called this country home for decades.
Temporary court orders are giving us momentum, but ultimately we need Congress to stop the Muslim ban for good.
Right now there is a bill that would put an end to the Muslim ban. Tell your Senator to co- sponsor at http://amnestyusa.org/sites/default/themes/candle/no_ban.html.
Rep. Beyer is taking a stand, but many elected officials – including your Senator – are failing to act. That’s why its so important that Amnesty Activists in your state make some noise and say No Ban No Wall.
Tell Your Senator: Be Courageous. Break With The Ban.
Senate Bill 274 would stop the Muslim ban, but if your Senator doesn’t sign up to show support, it will fail. We can’t let that happen.
Your Senator co-sponsoring this bill is crucial. We’ve done the research and we know your Senator’s support is pivotal.
As human rights activists, we have power – our protests all over the country show that – and we must take it to the halls of Congress.
Tell Your Senator: Stop The Ban Before It’s Too Late.
We can’t let this Muslim ban become the new normal. There’s too much at stake.
