Call on the leaders of all UK parties and the PM to condemn the US Muslim ban.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In light of the movement by the new American administration to ban refugees and immigrants with a clear bias on religious belief we demand a rejection of this xenophobia.

The party leaders and the PM must condemn the policy change and reject stronger ties with the US unless they are reversed.
In a country with a large Muslim population our government owes reassurance to the citizens whose contribution to our culture, economy and services is invaluable, that we stand with them in the face of oppression.
We have a duty to stem the growth of xenophobia and fascism in the wake of a changing world.
Now is our chance to make a stand and not sit by and find ourselves on the wrong side of history.
We the undersigned stand against oppression and demand our representatives do so too.
