In January 2017, when Donald Trump announced the Muslim Ban—a complete ban on travel to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries—protesters converged at airports around the country, shutting down travel.
Now he is banning travel from twice as many countries.
Don’t See What Happens, Be What Happens
Continuous updates from demonstrators blockading airports and interrupting business as usual in response to Trump’s fascist ban on Muslims from seven countries.

It's worth revisiting the events of 2017 to understand the scale of resistance. 5000 protesters shut down all international flights at SFO in San Francisco. 30,000 shut down a large section of the financial district of Manhattan while thousands protested at JFK. Protests like this took place at dozens of airports and business districts around the country.
In the wake of those protests—and not a moment before—a judge declared the Muslim Ban unconstitutional. When we take action together, we can change the course of history.
Don't let Trump and his cronies bury their oppressive acts in a news cycle filled with noise. Let's show up for each other in solidarity. Resist.
