This article is for those who live in the U.K. and want to help resist against Trump.
Angry at Trump’s latest ban? Outraged at the building of the wall? Just overall appalled that Trump’s being allowed to run the United States of America? Here’s how those of you who are not living in America can help your brothers and sisters. Just because its not happening to us, doesn’t mean its not happening.
But first of all, here’s a breakdown on what Trump’s done in only one week:
- Put a four month hold on refugees entering The US and barred travelers from Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. This is including those with dual-nationality passports.
- Oh yeah, and he said this was working “Very nicely”… someone clearly hasn’t been checking their twitter moments.
- An example of one person being affected by this is Mo Farah, who took to Facebook to explain how the ban would affect him. Because he was born in Somalia, under Trump’s ban he will be unable to enter America, where he currently lives with his family.
- Signed two immigration related decrees. This meaning he’s already started to fulfill his pledge of building the wall.
- Proposed a 20% border tax on Mexico to help pay for the wall, despite Mexico clearly stating they will not be paying. White people, if you’re listening, this means your avocados could be costing you a fortune soon enough.
- Revived the keystone Pipeline rejected by Obama… but he’s such an “Environmentalist”
- Signed a ban on federal money going to international groups that provide information on abortions. Can you believe its 2017 and a man just decided what women can and cannot do with their bodies?
So, how can you help?
For starters, there are protests around the U.K. throughout the week. Find the link to some here. Protest peacefully and make sure your voices are heard, also take banners with you, we want passers by to know what we’re protesting about! Londoners, get down to the protest at Downing street today from 6-8pm!
Educate your friends and family! I’m sure when you arrive at work/ school/ college tomorrow morning they’ll be aware of whats happening – but tell them the details. Tell them of the refugees who sold everything to come here, had their visa and ticket in hand and were refused entry to the US. Don’t sugarcoat it, what Trump’s doing is islamaphobic and xenophobic.
Be nice to people. Evident, I know, but those who are affected by Trump’s recent ban will be feeling extremely attacked and vulnerable. Stand with them. Be there for them. Reassure them that you will be doing everything you can to resist. Take care when addressing the situation to those that affected, be careful when using trigger words.
Finally, STAY WOKE. Keep up to date with Trump’s atrocities here. To help keep the page running, email [email protected] to help maintain the site and inform others on what you know.
Protest. Educate. Resist. Do not turn your heads just because you are not directly affected, an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
