I was reminded of this just a week ago when over 3 million Americans
of all ages, races, and religions, marched for women's rights, justice,
and equal rights. Three million, a powerful resistance to concerning
policies that we are seeing come out of the White House. Just last night I was with scores of activists and families at
Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, protesting President Trump's
executive action barring refugees from entering the United States. I wish that things hadn't come to this. It is a tragedy that these
United States, the shining beacon of democracy around the world, the
land that welcomes the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses has
witnessed a President in his first week in office attempt to strip away
our values as an inclusive democracy with an unconstitutional executive
order and Muslim ban.
