Support the NO BAN Act

The National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act (“NO BAN Act”) is a historic civil rights bill that would essentially end the Muslim, Refugee and Asylum Bans and prevent discrimination based on faith or national origin in immigration. Since these discriminatory bans were announced just over two years ago, the consequences have been devastating: families torn apart; children unable to see their parentsor visit their grandparents; and people forced to miss the births, deaths, graduations, weddings and funerals of loved ones. The NO BAN Act will end these discriminatory policies and amend the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion and national origin, so that no president will ever again be able to ban an entire community without accountability or oversi

NO BAN Act NOW!

“If passed, the NO BAN Act will make several important changes to current laws on immigration. It first expands our legal definition of nondiscrimination to include religion. The impact it will have extends to immigrant and non-immigrant visas. Critically, the bill also Includes greater requirements for any future travel bans, including reporting to and consultation with Congress. The bill repeals all the iterations of the Muslim Ban, (Executive Orders 13769 and 13780 and Presidential Proclamation 9645), as well as the Asylum Ban, (Presidential Proclamation 9822), and the Refugee Ban, (Executive Order 13815). Send a letter to your members of Congress, asking them to support the NO BAN Act.

I’m writing to urge you to support the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act (“NO BAN Act”). The bill seeks to make critical improvements to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by outlawing discrimination in the entry of immigrants or nonimmigrants based on religion, in addition to the other protections already in place, including protections against discrimination on the basis of race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence.

The NO BAN Act would end the harmful Muslim, refugee, and asylum bans, and put in place vital protections against future discriminatory bans. The Muslim ban was imposed by Executive Order by President Trump, following campaign rhetoric about banning all Muslims from entering the country, validating the worst stereotypes about an entire religious community. The first two iterations of the Muslim ban were struck down by multiple courts, forcing President Trump to issue a third version that was upheld by the Supreme Court on the basis of an overly broad statute. The consequences of this ban have been tragic, denying people access to lifesaving medical care, preventing parents from caring for their children, and forcing spouses to live apart. Last year, 37,000 visas were denied because of this ban (up from 1,000 the year before). It is time to fix the deeply flawed policy of discriminatory admittance into the United States.

Article 1, § 8, clause 4, of the United States Constitution specifically grants Congress the power to establish a “uniform Rule of Naturalization.” Passing the NO BAN Act will reclaim Congressional authority to ensure that our immigration policies are not tools for discrimination, and I urge you to support it.
