Sign the petition: Demand President Biden and Vice President Harris to allow entry to families denied by Trump’s Muslim and African Bans

Biden-Harris administration

The harm done to families impacted by Trump’s racist immigration policies won’t be so easily repaired.

It’s on the Biden-Harris administration to make this right—the tens of thousands of Diversity Visa recipients as well as Muslim and African families torn apart by Trump’s bans must be allowed their fair shot at immigration.

President Biden and Vice President Harris must not burden banned families with red-tape—they must grant entry to all individuals who have faced discrimination due to the Muslim and African bans.

The inadequate announcement by the Biden-Harris administration is the result of a 45 day review of immigration policies following the executive order to repeal the Muslim and African bans on day one.

The statement is pretty clear—families who started the expensive and time-consuming visa application processes, whether they were stuck in refugee camps or eagerly awaiting reunification, will have to start the process over entirely.

Without immediate action, it could take years until every family denied entry due to Trump’s racist bans is given their fair shot. Many have moved on or can’t afford to go through the process again.

The Biden-Harris administration has made commitments to progressive immigration reform and racial justice. We need them to take action to protect immigrant families immediately.

Add your name: Urge President Biden and Vice President Harris to stop upholding Trump’s racist immigration bans, and allow entry to families who have been formerly denied entry.
