hellotailor: Hundreds of people are rallying outside JFK airport to protest against Trump’s muslim ban. Here’s a statement of support from the New York Tax Workers Alliance: “Our 19,000-member-strong union stands firmly opposed to Donald Trump’s Muslim ban. As an organization whose membership is largely Muslim, a workforce that’s almost universally immigrant, and a working-class movement that is rooted in the defense of the oppressed, we say no to this inhumane and unconstitutional ban.” [Image: a screencap of tweets from the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, reading as follows: “NO PICKUPS @ JFK Airport 6 PM to 7 PM today. Drivers stand in solidarity with thousands protesting inhumane and unconstitutional #MuslimBan. We cannot be silent. We go to work to welcome people to a land that once welcomed us. We will not be divided.”] -- source link
