As we work hard to make sure Congress and Trump hear our opposition to a blanket ban on citizens from Muslim-majority countries, we also need to share our immigrant stories to change the hearts and minds of our representatives – as well as our friends and neighbors.

If you think your Member of Congress should know how a ban on immigrants would impact your life, share your story. Because your story IS the American story. #AmericaDoesNotBan
