The full ban blocks entry from: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. A partial ban applies to: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. The United States has long been a beacon of hope for refugees and asylum seekers, offering safety to those fleeing violence, instability, and repression. Turning our backs on them now not only abandons that legacy but also diminishes the values that once defined us.

How You Can Help:

The NO BAN Act would prevent any future president from imposing discriminatory travel bans. By taking action now, you send a clear message to your members of Congress to support this critical legislation. Stand up today against the Travel Ban, formerly known as the Muslim Ban, and help protect our core values of justice and equality.

What Was the Muslim or Travel Ban?
First enacted in 2017, the Travel Ban restricted U.S. entry from several Muslim majority countries, including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. It impacted over 135 million people, separating families, stranding refugees, and stigmatizing communities. Despite legal challenges, the Supreme Court upheld the ban, prioritizing executive power over religious freedom.

Why This Matters Now
The ban targets people based on their faith, violating basic constitutional rights. The Trump administration plans to reinstate and expand it, possibly including Palestinians from Gaza. Without laws like the NO BAN Act, the 2018 Supreme Court ruling allows these harmful policies to return.

The NO BAN Act will: 

• Limit presidential authority to impose travel bans without evidence-based justification.
• Require transparency and regular reporting to Congress for any travel restrictions.
• Ensure protection against discrimination based on religion or national origin in immigration policies.
