#TrumpWatch: Stand up to Trump. Protect human rights. | |||||
Dear friends, Today marks Trump’s first 100 days in office. They have shown how dangerous his agenda is for human rights here and around the world – but they also show how we can stop it. Stand up to Trump. Protect human rights. Whether it's by closing our borders, turning our backs on refugees and asylum seekers, trying to ban Muslims, or emboldening human rights abusers, we have seen what is at stake for the next four years. When we sat down to document the first 100 days, it didn’t take long to identify 100 ways this administration has threatened people’s human rights. What’s incredible isn’t just all the ways the Trump administration has tried to deny people freedom, justice, and equality – but all the ways that the public has pushed back, demanded Congress take action, and refused to let it happen. Join the fight. Stand up for human rights under the Trump Administration. Two of Trump’s signature proposals – which would have directly violated millions of people’s human rights – were beaten back, in large part because activists took to the streets and refused to back down. The Muslim ban and the attempt to take away millions of people’s health care coverage have both failed in the last 100 days. Despite what we have already been able to accomplish, most importantly, we have learned that when we come together and fight back, anything is possible. For the past 60 years Amnesty has been fighting and were not going to stop anytime soon. We will be here for the next 4 years and beyond, and we need you to join us. Pledge to join this fight and demand Congress stand up for human rights in the Trump administration. Thank you for taking action, Margaret Huang Executive Director, Amnesty International USA | |||||
