Rep. Dan Donovan, Protect Refugees and Muslims
Dan Donovan represents New York's 11th Congressional district, including parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island. His district has residents and citizens from all religions and backgrounds, including many Muslim-Americans.
On Friday, an unconstitutional executive order was signed barring Syrian refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.
This illegal ban goes against the equal protection afforded by the 14th amendment to our Constitution.
And yet Rep. Donovan went on record as saying the travel ban is "in America's best interest"!
We ask that Rep. Donovan reverse course and go on record opposing this unconstitutional executive order which will send many refugees back to certain death, and needlessly tear apart families living within the district he represents.
As members of his district we are appalled by his lack of concern for our fellow residents and citizens.
Copies of this signed petition will be hand-delivered to Rep. Donovan's office in Dyker Heights.

Why is this important?
I care deeply about the wonderful, diverse community in Brooklyn where I live. Many hard-working immigrants live in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, Gravesend and Staten Island, which make up Rep. Dan Donovan's district. Many of our Muslim brothers and sisters call these wonderful neighborhoods home.
This ban on Muslims and refugees affects many families in our neighborhoods. Families are at risk of being torn apart. Refugees who have found a welcoming home in our neighborhoods are wondering if they will face persecution yet again.
We all share an interest in keeping our neighborhoods safe and welcoming for immigrants of all religions and communities.
If you live in these neighborhoods, or have family members here, you may be affected as well.
Discrimination based on country of origin or religion is unconstitutional and damaging to the social and economic fabric of our cherished neighborhoods.
Let's stand together in solidarity against this unconstitutional and discriminatory ban and ask Rep. Dan Donovan, who is our elected representative, to do the same.
