Join us in standing up for our communities and against discrimination and injustice. Let’s band together to tell the Supreme Court that we are against the Muslim and Refugee Bans.
The months leading up to the election Donald Trump attacked brown and black immigrant communities with xenophobic rhetoric. Not even a week into his presidency, he began making good on his campaign promise of “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims and refugees entering the United States” by instituting his Muslim Ban. We have seen over the last months, 4th and 9th circuit court’s rule the bans unconstitutional. Now, its fate lies in the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States. With our communities continuously under attack, with the cancellation of DACA, the building of the wall, the massive increase of deportations, the looming deadline of TPS, and the reexpansion of wars abroad, we must continue to stand up and speak out against this administration’s violent policies.
On October 10th, SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in the Muslim Ban case. This is an important moment—win or lose—that will set a major legal, political, and moral precedent. We believe it is critical that there be a strong, loud, mass mobilization that sends a message to the Justices and to this Administration: Muslim communities are organized, and our allies have our backs.
We WILL NOT be silent against white supremacy and Islamophobia, and WE WILL stand up in solidarity for all our communities in the face of any and all discriminatory policies.
Please join us for an evening vigil, to uplift the voices of those most impacted. ASWAT Bay Area Arabic Music Ensemble, speakers from the 6 impacted countries, refugees, and allies will speak, read poetry and sing in solidarity.
