Unity Prevails and Speaks Out
United support of Neighborhood”'s diverse population was the message in this rally on Saturday February 18, 2017, to protest the immigration policies of the Trump administration. The demonstration started in Powderhorn Park where several speakers talked about the policies to be contested and worked with the crowd on chanting slogans. The demonstrators then marched up to Lake Street and down to International Market Square and back. The participants were extremely well organized and respectful of others, not blocking traffic or disturbing area retail but simply trying to get their message heard, that the Powderhorn neighborhood is united in support of their diverse population.

Condoning a “travel ban” on unarmed Iraqis coming to America? How can anyone agree with such a “travel ban” after the U.S. sent thousands of armed Americans across Iraqi borders killing thousands of people and destroying entire cities like Fallujah?
Why couldn”'t the Iraqi government have put a travel ban on Americans entering their country in 2003?
It is obvious the only thing that validates a “travel ban” is the power to do it?
We are violent, nutty people in America. We destroy Iraq, turn it into a hellhole, and then we won”'t let Iraqis come to the U.S. because we see them as a danger even though we destroyed Iraq. It is just nuts!
