On February 24th, 2017, the Tibet Women’s Soccer Team were denied visas to travel to Texas for the Dallas Cup soccer tournament.

Their visa applications, including non-refundable fees and travel expenses of approximately $5,000 (half of the teams yearly budget), were denied by the US Embassy in New Delhi, India.

According to the team, they were told that they “had no good reason” to travel to the United States.

The Dallas Cup begins April 9th, 2017. The United States Department of State has the ability to overturn this decision.

a message from Martin Sheen


"I'm calling on you today." -- Martin SheenPeople always ask me: “How would President Bartlet handle a President Trump?”
And though it’s been awhile since I was on The West Wing, I have no doubt about this:

He would tell America to stand up for what’s right, and fight back with everything it’s got.

That’s why I’m calling on you today.

The DCCC has their first End of Quarter Deadline since President Trump has taken office on Friday

I can say with certainty — as would President Bartlet — that there will always be another challenge to overcome.

And right now, our best shot at stopping President Trump is to take back the House.

So I’m asking you: Are you ready to fight back?
