    Hi All,

       Update on the In-it campaign: A group went on Friday to speak with Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's legislative assistant. He said that the videos that have been made so far for the in-it campaign are super useful and will be used in congress hearings dealing with the ban. We are currently at 73 videos- and our goal is 100- we are so close!! The video should be less than 2 minutes (just over 1 minute is ideal). You can do it in anonymous mode where your video image will be distorted. It would be really great to get some more stories from other nations impacted by the travel ban (we have mostly Iranian). Please feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions or want more details. 

     

    Remember- things don't change if we don't make our voices heard!

    Thank you so much Jess, It's really important that people with their real stories cooperate in this campaign as you mentioned "things won't change if we don't make our voices to be heard in Congress"

    Yes and the talk with members of Congress have already started- this past Friday (2/8/19) a group of people impacted by the ban went and spoke with Ilhan Omar's legislative assistant in DC. He said that our videos will be used for hearings in Congress. It would help if we could hear from people from all countries impacted by the travel ban- we have lots of Iranians and we can have more- but it would also be good to include videos from other nations impacted too. If you are uncomfortable showing your face there is the option to do the video anonymously. 

    There are also petitions to ask other senators and representatives to help us and at the end of all https://in-it.com/travelban is going to be enclosed.  Videos can be made in 1 minute which is enough to explain your difficulties and ask Congress to end family ban, in addition in-it has provided free environment that every family member from each visa category can talk about negatively effects of travel ban.
