Happy Carnaval Rio!

More than 10,000 people gathered in NYC yesterday for the ‘Today I am a Muslim Too’ rally.
The rally was organized by The Foundation For Ethnic Understanding and was meant to protest President Trump’s attempt to order a Travel Ban, which would prohibit Syrian refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. It fell on the 75th anniversary of President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 — an order that resulted in the incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans, along with thousands of German and Italian Americans.
