Button TextPresident Trump has given himself emergency powers to take control of Washington, DC. Since Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act was invoked, homeless encampments have been forcibly cleared. ICE is detaining residents. Military-style checkpoints have been established, targeting vulnerable communities and disrupting daily life.
The NO BAN Act (H.R. 924 / S. 398) is essential legislation that would prevent discriminatory travel bans based on religion or nationality. In recent years, such bans have targeted individuals from Muslim-majority countries, undermining America's core values of religious freedom and equality.
We are a religious freedom nation, not a Christian nation. As Americans who value religious freedom, we demand that Congresswoman Mary Miller do more than just delete her social media posts attacking religious freedom. We demand that she publicly apologize to the Sikh and Muslim communities.
Right now, trans youth and their families are under attack in Congress. The so-called Protect Children's Innocence Act (H.R. 3492) would criminalize gender affirming care for minors across the country. This cruel bill uses language meant to stigmatize and distort essential care.
Together, we can make a significant impact in this pivotal moment in our nation's history.
