Our top priority: Stop the bigoted ban for good

	Our top priority: Stop the bigoted ban
	Donate Now We are fighting President Trump’s bigoted refugee and Muslim ban. Stand on the right side of history. Donate to support our efforts. Dear friends, Last night a federal judge ruled to temporarily block President Trump’s Muslim ban. However, this decision is short-term relief. Congress must step in to block this unlawful ban for good. We are in the fight of our lives. President Trump’s bigoted executive order banning Syrian refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries mocks the bedrock values of equality, fairness and inclusion that we hold as Americans and as human rights champions. We must stop this ban. There is no losing this fight — or the consequences for our country and our world will be dire. Make an urgent donation to support Amnesty’s all-out fight against the ban. We have focused our entire staff’s efforts on mobilizing all of our members and activists on this critical campaign. Your donation will support our strategy and tactics to defeat Trump’s disastrous order. Our primary goal is to get Congress to intervene and block the ban. We have allies, but we must keep up the pressure. Our targets are Republican Senators from six states who will most likely sway the results: John McCain and Jeff Flake in Arizona, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, Ben Sasse in Nebraska, Lindsey Graham in South Carolina and Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania. Your donation will support our staff working directly with these Senators and their staff and our efforts mobilizing grassroots advocacy pressure from constituents in their states. We are also focused on showing that public opinion is against the ban. We are holding visible protests in DC, New York and other key target locations over the next week and we are researching cases of individuals whose lives have been torn apart or otherwise impacted by this ban so we can show the real consequences of hateful policies. Your donation will support these key pressure points — all that lead back to Congress and the need for Senators to intervene. You know this ban is anti-American. Families have been torn apart. Children as young as five have been detained for hours on end. Refugees — who had sold all their possession days before departing for the U.S. — have nothing to their name. Stand on the right side of history with us. Donate and be part of the resistance. Sincerely, Margaret Huang Executive Director, Amnesty International USA
