In response to the Trump Administration’s Travel Ban we ask that everyone take action to let those in charge know we will not stand for the discrimination of our Muslim ‘dear neighbors.’ In addition to sharing our statement, we have some suggestions from Church World Service that you can post on your own social media pages. The U.S. Federation will also be actively posting these on social media, so please feel free to re-tweet or share.

Stop deportations. Stop tearing families apart. Stop attacking immigrants. #NoMuslimBanEver #FamiliesBelongTogether

We cannot accept living in a country that willingly separates families and calls it justice. #NoMuslimBanEver #FamiliesBelongTogetherStop deportations. Stop tearing families apart. Stop attacking immigrants. #NoMuslimBanEver #FamiliesBelongTogethe

Families and loved ones are being ripped away from one another. This isn’t justice, it’s shameful. #NoMuslimBanEver #FamiliesBelongTogether June 26, 2018, Supreme Court decision is another shameful mark on our history.
