Fight Back
On a Tuesday night, 10 grassroots groups and 150 San Diegans gathered for tacos and an evening of cross-community solidarity, standing against the targeting and criminalization of Muslim, newcomer, and immigrant community members.On October 10, the Supreme Court of the United States will be hearing two cases about the Muslim and refugee bans, Trump v. Int'l Refugee Assistance Project and Trump v. Hawaii.
The executive orders from the Trump Administration temporarily bans travel from six Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen) and suspends the refugee admissions process.
The Muslim and refugee bans are discriminatory, unconstitutional and inhumane in the same vein as the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Japanese American incarceration, and special registration after 9/11.
We must remember history and mobilize against any targeting of our communities.
