Today’s historic hearing on the Muslim ban matters. As someone who came here as a refugee from one of the Trump administration’s banned countries, I know how destructive this hateful policy is to people around the world who want to come to America for a better life.
Today, the families who can’t see their loved ones have some accountability. People around the world wondering if this is still the land where they have a shot at a better life, regardless of religion, will see that one party at least still believes in those values.
We will keep fighting until we have fully repealed the Muslim ban and put this hateful policy into the dustbin of history where it belongs. If your representative and senators haven’t co-sponsored the #NoBanAct, put pressure on them today by calling (202) 224-3121.
Finally, I want everyone around the world to know that despite the words and actions of the current occupant of the White House, the United States still remains a land of hope and opportunity.
