WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, OH – Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) to attend two events with leaders of Muslim communities next week. Congresswoman Fudge strongly opposes President Donald Trump’s Executive Order to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

“The 11th Congressional District is home to many Muslims.  Muslims are a part of the fabric of our community. I fully support them and their right to worship freely. Discrimination based on religion is squarely against our nation’s founding principles. It is time for the President to do what is right and live up to the promise of America,” said Congresswoman Fudge.
