Email Your MP to Stand Against Trump's Muslim Ban

Updated on March 6, 2017

This morning (March 6, 2017) U.S. President Trump signed a new scaled-back version of his controversial travel ban targeting citizens from six Muslim-majority countries and shutting down the U.S. refugee program. The revised travel order (AKA the Muslim Ban) still affects visitors from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.

Make no mistake, this revised travel ban is still a discriminatory action by the Trump administration. The only way to fix this is not to have a ban that targets people based on their race, nationality, birthplace or religion.

While the Canadian government ...

While the Canadian government clarified with its U.S. counterparts that Canadian citizens will not be affected by this executive order at the time President Trump signed the initial travel ban, millions of people around the world are still impacted by this revised discriminatory order, including people from the targeted nationalities who live in Canada on student/work visas. As Canadians who believe in values of multiculturalism and diversity we have to strongly stand against this discriminatory policy by the U.S. government.

We call on the Government of Canada to introduce specific policies to help those who will be impacted by Trump’s immigration/travel ban including students from Iran and other 5 targeted nationalities.

I am sending this email to you as your constituent and as a concerned Canadian. The U.S. President Trump signed a new scaled-back version of his controversial travel ban on March 6, 2017 targeting citizens from six Muslim-majority countries and shutting down the U.S. refugee program.

As a Canadian who holds values of equality and multiculturalism dearly, I am concerned about this ban and I want my Member of Parliament to clearly stand against this ban. Therefore I would like to ask you to request the following from our federal government:

- The Government of Canada must take all measures to ensure that Canadian citizens and permanent residents regardless of their backgrounds will not be discriminated against at the U.S. border.

- The Government of Canada and our parliamentarians must withdraw or amend the particular provisions of the proposed Bill C-23 (The Preclearance Act) that provides excessive powers to U.S. border agents on Canadian soil. Our government and our MPs must protect Canadians’ rights and dignity at the border.
 
- The Government of Canada must introduce specific immigration policies to help those who will be impacted by Trump’s immigration/travel ban including students from Iran and other 5 targeted nationalities.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
