⁦@POTUS⁩ ⁦@SenateDems⁩, the unfair #TrumpBan has played havoc on the #Dvlottery winners of #DV2017 to #Dv2020. You need to act and ensure their #DVlottery win remains a path to their American dream and not a nightmare that it currently is. https://t.co/ENAa0TM02n

Show that you #ValueOurFamilies by including these asks in must-pass legislation:

✅ Recapture unused green cards lost to COVID-related bureaucratic delay
✅ Authorize green cards to Diversity Visa program lottery winners who did not receive it due to Trump’s immigration bans

[Advancing Justice - AAJC @AAAJ_AAJC]

Right now, Congress is allocating critical federal funds through the annual appropriations bill. As appropriators, @SenFeinstein, @SenatorDurbin, @PattyMurray, @RepRoybalAllard & @RepTimRyan must use their power to clear the family-based immigration backlogs.

That’s true, however the Travel ban era shouldn’t be closed without going forward keeping our promises to the diversity visa winners of the Trump years; H.R.3548 #KeepingOurPromiseAct

[Dr. Debbie Almontaser @DebbiAlmontaser]

.@RepJeffries⁩ Plz sign H.R.3548 - To authorize issuance of visas and admission of certain aliens, and their derivatives, who were selected to apply for diversity immigrant visas but unable to be issued such visas or be admitted due to the #MuslimBan! https://t.co/S8kqCfRwSN

We had a great first day of meetings for #MuslimHillDay with @cair_wa, @CAIRNational, and @USCMO! Here we are, discussing Palestinian and Uyghur human rights, the Keeping our Promise Act, and the need for an Intl. Islamophobia Envoy with @RepJayapal's Staffer Amy Fischer.

[Seema Mehta @ImmigrationUS_A]

@BernieSanders @SenSanders The Lack of attention and empathy to the ongoing plight of #DVlottery winners from #DV2017 to #DV2021 is disheartening. It seems US immigration as an issue is simply a marketing tool. Just talk on matters that appease. https://t.co/LvykcunyTK

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

Thank you @RepJudyChu for helping us kick-off @USCMO's 6th Annual (Virtual) #MuslimHillDay. We are going to work hard to see the passage of the #NOBANAct in the U.S. Senate and the #KeepingOurPromiseAct (H.R. 3548) in the House.

The Biden administration has unraveled much of Trump's travel ban. But many past diversity visa winners still have no way to actually enter the country. https://t.co/RfThohOuRG

[PAAIA @paaia]

Due to the Travel Ban & other bans related to COVID-19, many selected for the Diversity Visa between 2017 - 2020 had their permission to come to the US revoked.

Stand with Diversity Visa recipients & tell Congress to support the Keeping our Promise Act: https://t.co/qskvYiRLnU

[Seema Mehta @ImmigrationUS_A]

Also keep in mind the plight of the #DV2017 to #Dv2020 winners. Those who acquired a legal benefit should all receive it !! That’s the only ethical solution.

[Diversity Visa Winners @DVWinners]

Once badly affected by the discriminatory Muslim Ban, the Iranians may find themselves out of luck with the Biden administration this time. @RepRitchie @RepJudyChu @rabyaahahmed @manaro_77 the work you do is more important than ever. @SecBlinken what happened to American values?

[Seema Mehta @ImmigrationUS_A]

@Biden increasing legal immigration should come after bringing in all those who are ALREADY QULAIFIED LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ! #DVlottery winners from #DV2017 to #Dv2020 and now #DV201 wait eagerly for the US government conscious to do the right thing https://t.co/6ii8nqs0F6 @voxdotcom

[Jeff Joseph @jeffjoseph]

The Keeping Our Promise Act — proposed legislation from U.S. Reps. @ritchietorres, D-N.Y., and @RepJudyChu, D-Calif., — would restore lost visas due to Trump's #MuslimBan as well as the #DV2020 visas lost due to COVID. Reach out and show your support!

@POTUS Immigrants also include the #frontlineworkers from India stuck in a never ending #GCbacklog and the #DVLottery winners from #DV2017 through #DV2020 who have been given an unfair blow ! Pleasing statements don’t help ! We need attention and action on these issues.
