The Friends Committee on National Legislation and our partners unequivocally condemn Trump’s newest executive order on immigrants and refugees as discriminatory, inhumane, and harmful to our national security. In this sense, it is no different from the version signed on January 27th.

We will gather outside the White House to send a strong message to the Trump administration that we will continue to oppose any policies that discriminate against Muslims, refugees, and immigrants.

At the rally, we will also express our vision for strong national leadership:

• We call on President Trump to rescind this executive order.
• We call on all members of Congress to support legislation to rescind it.
• We call on our nation’s judicial system to promptly and fairly address concerns about its constitutionality.
