Send a message tonight to President Wrecking-Ball's shadow government at the White (Nationalist) House; Americans will not forsake our Muslim and Immigrant communities.
Those of you not attending Mayor Zimmer's State of the City speech tonight at 7PM in DeBaun Auditorium, please come to the rally for Jersey City's (and America's) Muslim/Immigrant communities to be held tonight:
6-8 PM
119-158 Newark Ave, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302
(Grove Street stop on the PATH)
As posted on Facebook:
"Jersey City Stands with our Muslim and Immigrant Community. Come in solidarity and peace as we show our strength in diversity as one of the most diverse cities in the nation. Use and follow #JerseyCityStands
A violation of the constitution. A religious test. We are not hysterical. A President who continues to lie to the American people to propagate anti muslim sentiment, bigotry and violence. A 7 nation ban that detains and sends back people because they are Muslim is UnAmerican and immoral. This is detention without due process- chilling to constitutional norms, civil and religious liberty. This IS a matter of life and death for Refugees and empowers Extremists. This is not the time to tune out- whether it be social media, on the news, in coffee shops- the content will keep showing up in your life calling you to action. Don't run from what is being asked of us. Answer the call.
Our children and grandchildren will ask us about these times and what we did to defend our country and stand up for each other. Looking forward everyone at the rally. -Michael Billy [organizer]
