Congress: Stop Trump's Attack on Birthright Citizenship!
UPDATE: The Supreme Court just gave the green light for Trump to end birthright citizenship.
This ruling opens the door to one of the most dangerous rollbacks of civil rights in modern U.S. history. By allowing Trump's EO to end birthright citizenship to be decided by the federal courts in select parts of the country, SCOTUS has greenlit creating a two-tiered system of citizenship.

But it doesn't have to end here. Ultimately, federal courts will have to rule on birthright citizenship, and if they rule to overturn it, it will be up to Congress to block these unconstitutional grabs at our rights

One of Donalds Trump's first acts after being inaugurated was an assault on the Constitution, recklessly challenging birthright citizenship and reopening the question of who qualifies as an American citizen. This dangerous and unprecedented order undermines our fundamental rights and jeopardizes the security and dignity of every person in this country.

Birthright citizenship is protected under the 14th Amendment, and our Constitution is explicit: All children born in the U.S. are citizens.
Trump knows birthright citizenship is protected. This is another inflammatory effort by Trump and MAGA loyalists to distract from their real agenda of enriching themselves and those in their inner circle.
Anybody born in this country deserves to be here as much as anyone else. And our friends, family members, neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones living in this country—regardless of their citizenship status—belong and are welcome here.
Add your name to protect birthright citizenship and demand that Congress, state and local elected leadership, and the courts fight back against this blatantly unconstitutional executive order!
Why is this important?
Trump's attack on birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, and it's just one part of MAGA's far-right playbook to scapegoat our immigrant neighbors, all while Trump makes life easier for his wealthy friends and harder for everyone else.
If this Congress votes on this order, they must resoundingly reject this brazen attack on our Constitution and its discriminatory agenda that threatens the very fabric of America.
Trump's promises of deportation raids and family separation policies are in practice unpopular—morally AND economically. Yet, he remains undeterred, because the true goal isn't efficient policies—it's scapegoating immigrants, fueling division, and creating a distraction while he and his billionaire allies profit at the public's expense.
Congress must take action and refuse to concede to Trump's assault on our Constitution. Re-litigating the question of who gets to be a citizen is just another attempt by Trump to divide us and further advance a discriminatory America.

We won't be distracted or divided. Add your name to demand Congress denounce and fight back against Trump's unconstitutional executive order—and commit to protecting birthright citizenship.
