The ban on Muslims is starting

Trump's executive orders this week

Hey Indiana,

A few weeks ago, you joined the good folks at Register US—pledging to register yourself as Muslim in the face of Donald Trump's proposal to create a Muslim registry. That particular campaign has since wound down, but the fight against Trump's policies isn't over—it's just beginning. Especially after this week's executive orders announcing restrictions on refugees and immigrants from Muslim countries.

I wanted to welcome you to MPower Change and ask you to take your first action with us—calling on members of Congress to resoundingly reject Trump's Muslim ban. Check out the email from Linda Sarsour, our Executive Director, below for more details.

We look forward to working with you as we continue to resist this illegitimate and dangerous administration. - Mohammad

As Salaamu Alaykum —

This week, Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders blocking refugees from seeking safety and restricting immigration from Muslim countries—the beginnings of a Muslim ban.

While the administration has backpedaled on Trump's call for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States"—realizing the weakness of his mandate and the unpopularity of his policies—it's clear that these orders are driven by a deep-seated, almost maniacal anti-Muslim hate that has captured Trump and his cabinet.

And his call to block Syrian refugees—some of the most vulnerable people in the world—is shockingly morally bankrupt, even for someone like Trump.

Donald Trump can act alone with his executive orders, but that doesn't mean Congress is voiceless.

If you agree that targeting anyone based on their religion or where they come from is wrong, join us and call on members of Congress to go on the record and vocally reject Trump's Muslim ban.

Trump has once again shown us his true values: he opens his arms and his administration to white supremacists, Goldman Sachs bankers, oil tycoons, and the “alt-right,” but wants to deny safe harbor to people fleeing Daesh and one of the worst civil wars in the world.

While this country hasn't often lived up to the ideals of openness and tolerance, those of us who strive for a better society have always sought to create a United States that welcomes all, regardless of their religion or where they come from.

By shutting the doors on refugees and beginning his Muslim ban, Trump has resoundingly rejected these values.

Now it's up to us—Muslims and all people of good conscience—to resoundingly reject Trump and his Muslim ban.

Sign our petition today and call on your representatives in Congress to loudly and vocally reject Trump's Muslim ban.

In solidarity,
Linda, Dustin, Mark, Mohammad, and the MPower Change team
