About the campaign.

Update 7/22/2020:

The U.S. House of Representatives passes the NO BAN Act (H.R. 2486, formerly H.R. 2214), which would repeal President Trump’s Muslim and African Ban if it becomes law. The historic vote was the first time either chamber of Congress passed a Muslim civil rights bill. It must now be taken up by the Senate.

Update 7/20/2020:

The U.S. House of Representatives prepares to vote on the NO BAN Act (H.R. 2486, formerly H.R. 2214) on Wednesday, July 22, Muslim communities across the country are urging their members of Congress to pass the long-awaited bill, which would repeal President Trump’s Muslim and African Ban.

Update 6/26/2020:

Two years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump’s discriminatory Muslim Ban, which has disrupted the lives of thousands of people in the United States and around the world by separating families, depriving people of life-saving healthcare, and blocking access to education.

We will continue fighting to repeal the Muslim and African Bans, which institutionalize the religious and racial profiling of people seeking to reunite with their families and pursue a better life while contributing to this country. 

We hope you will join us in supporting our immigrant families, friends, coworkers, and classmates around the nation.

On June 26, 2018, The Supreme Court issued a 5 to 4 decision in support of the Muslim Ban in the case Hawaii v. Trump. The Supreme Court has turned a blind eye to the Trump administration’s blatant bigotry. This decision greenlights religious and ethnic discrimination that runs counter to the inclusionary principles that our country aspires to have. 

Just as we saw in January 2017, when the ban first went into effect, it has deferred dreams, separated families, deprived people of life saving health care, and blocked access to education. In addition, CBP staff have interpreted it broadly and overreached just as they have done in the past.

This fight is not over. We will continue to fight for Muslim families and communities, to pursue legal avenues on behalf of impacted people and to demand that legislators take action to end the Muslim Ban. 

 

Take action now.

Campaign Principles

END CRIMINALIZATION

End policies, like bans, walls and raids, that treat our communities as inherently suspect and foster bigotry and hate.

EXPAND SANCTUARY

Create safe spaces for people under threat by advocating for sanctuary policies, supporting sanctuary communities, and offering physical sanctuary.

CENTER DIRECTLY IMPACTED PEOPLE

Center communities directly affected by the Muslim and refugee bans, namely Muslims, refugees, and nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

BUILD SOLIDARITY

The Muslim and refugee bans are on a continuum of exclusionary policies, White supremacy, xenophobia and racism. We are stronger when we understand these connections and work together.

RAISE YOUR VOICE

Share your values and stories to help shift public narratives and consciousness.

Campaign Messages

  • The Muslim Ban is the culmination of a long assault on Muslim communities.

  • Refugees are ordinary people fleeing extraordinary adversity, and denying them safety is to deny our common humanity.

  • Our communities want what everyone wants: freedom to proudly express our identities, including our faith, without fear of discrimination.

  • The Muslim and refugee bans are just one prong of Trump’s white nationalist agenda.

  • This ban has a real impact on families and community members.

  • The ban opens the door to other policies that discriminate on the basis of faith, immigration status, and national origin in particular eliminating DACA and increasing deportations. That is why we stand in solidarity with other communities of color, Native communities, immigrants and refugees.
