Together, we called, rallied, and met with staff to make sure all our Member of Congress would cosponsor the No Ban Act which would reverse the Muslim Ban and make sure nothing like it can happen again.

Guess what? It worked!

Although Senator Cantwell will not show up as a cosponsor on congress.gov until Congress gets back from recess, she has officially agreed to be a cosponsor!

All our Member of Congress have!

It’s just as important to call and thank them as it was to call and ask in the first place.

ACTION: Let our MoCs know we appreciate it when they listen!

• Rep. Pramila Jayapal: DC – 202-225-3106; Seattle – 206-674-0040

• Rep. Adam Smith: DC – 202-225-8901; Renton – 425-793-5180

• Sen. Patty Murray–DC 202-224-2621; Seattle 206-553-5545

• Sen. Maria Cantwell–DC 202-224-3441; Seattle 206-220-6400

Script:

“Hello, I’m [name] from [city, zip]. I find it repugnant to ban entry into the US for people from predominantly Muslim countries and am happy to see that the legislation will make it more difficult to restrict their entry. The real word implications have been terrible for those affected. Please thank [MoC] for cosponsoring the No Ban Act and standing up for what’s right. “
