Pamela: Earlier this month, Trump's new travel ban that had Stephen Miller's handprints all over it went into effect— targeting nationals of 12 countries with sweeping bans plus partial restrictions for those from seven more. Now, it appears Miller and Co. were only getting started, as a new State Department memo lays out plans to ban people from an additional 36 nations in the coming days.[1]
These bans are rooted in xenophobia, racism, and hatred that doesn't make anyone safer. Many members of Congress have already spoken out against Trump's and Miller's latest travel ban, thanks in part to pressure from the tens of thousands of messages that were sent by supporters like you the moment the initial ban was announced. But words aren't enough in this urgent moment.
That's why we're ready to recommit and push Congress to repeal these bigoted bans. The NO BAN Act will prevent future travel bans by prohibiting discrimination based on religion, limiting executive authority on immigration policy, and requiring congressional consultation on future attempts to restrict people's travel.
This long overdue bill has steadily gained power since Rep. Judy Chu and Sen. Christopher Coons reintroduced it earlier this year. Today, your voice can help push it closer to passage — and send a crucial reminder of welcome and hope to people scrambling to save their futures.

This travel ban will separate families, inflict untold cruelty, and further demonize immigrants, in particular those from Muslim-majority countries as Trump has since he first ran for office.
The consequences of the Trump administration's travel ban will look like missed weddings, births, funerals, and obstacles to lifesaving medical treatment. It may even be a death sentence for those living through heartbreaking violence and deep humanitarian crises — including those people in Iran, where millions of people remain under threat as the Trump administration inches closer to open war with the Iranian government.
That's why we're mobilizing to support legislation like the NO BAN Act which affirms that ALL people have the right to seek safety, no matter where we are born.
A nearly identical bill passed the House in 2021, so we know there's political will to get this across the finish line — but it's going to take a groundswell of pressure from constituents like you to ensure Congress meets this moment.
Today, let's send a loud and clear reminder that you are part of a movement — millions of people strong — who want a different world than the one that Trump and Stephen Miller would build.
Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
