President Trump, immediately upon being inaugurated, signed a flurry of cruel, reckless, and in some cases flagrantly unconstitutional executive orders. One in particular checks all three of those boxes: His attempt to end birthright citizenship. The executive order is already being challenged in the courts. In fact last Thursday, a federal judge declared that Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship is “blatantly unconstitutional” and temporarily blocked the executive order from taking effect.
As it makes its way through the courts, we must limit the damage on babies born in this country, as well as maximize the political damage of this lawless, xenophobic order on Trump and any Republican who refuses to disavow it.
Now is the time to speak up (maybe later too)! Do this today:
Urge our Democratic governor to stand up against Trump’s executive order by making sure children born in our state are recorded as such and, thus, a US citizen -- as required by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution
Demand that our Democratic members of Congress condemn this executive order loudly and often
Demand that our Republican members of Congress speak out and publicly repudiate this executive order.
