It started with a handful in NYC and now has spread to over 25 airports throughout the nation. Sorry for the second post in a day, but we need good news. I am near tears, not out of fear of Trump (for once) but out of pride for America’s response. NY Times reports that Trump may be buckling. We can do this.
A Handful show up
A few dozen folks showed up at JFK in NYC and within hours the crowd grew into the thousands. This morning around 7, I got an email about how now the protest was speading to Philadelphia today. By 9 I got an email with the list of over 25 airports across the country that were having protests. A few minutes later, a report from the NYTs that Trump may be buckling. This must continue happening. He may still get his way, but we are galvanizing a nation. Justice will prevail.

Since you may need a NY Times subscription to access the article, I am providing it as aprotest-grows-out-of-nowhere-at-kennedy-airport-after-iraqis-are-detained-the-new-york-times, but this doesn’t always work either, so to get updates, just google “airport protests.” For a great article with tons of photos, click here.

I echo the last comment. Thanks so much, Paul and Roxanne, for bringing us information we would miss otherwise.
See above Morty. Call your friends and head to the ABQ Sunport, bring signs, tweet and Facebook photos. Create a Facebook event page and invite others. Tell the press and in a few hours, there will be hundreds at the airport. With all the friends you guys have there would be thousands there.
And what can we be doing NOW, to help resist and turn around this horrible action of Trump’s.
