Muslim detainees at LAX and SFO. Action needed!

,Dear Friends,

The ban on Muslims from seven nations is underway. Even those with Green Cards, including one man two weeks away from his becoming a U.S. citizen, are either detained at airports around the country or being denied boarding as they try to return home to the United States.

This is our Pastor Niemoller Moment.

If you are able, please join the vigil at Los Angeles International Airport.

Apparently there is at least one person detained at San Francisco International as well. We do not have good information on actions yet but you may have information locally on your local news.

Protests have begun to work.  At JFK where most of the detainees are, two people have been released to re-enter the United States.

If you can find your area federal building, are near an airport with Muslim detainees, or you can take any other action, please do so. 

The White House has disconnect its phone. There is no public way in.  However, if you Tweet, @POTUS now reaches the current president.  Who reads those Tweets is anybody's guess, but it IS access.

This is a crisis of almost unprecedented proportions.  In the coming days we will be upgrading our information, but for today, this is what we have.

It's on us. Nobody will make this stop but us, the people. Please do what you can, however you can, for as long as you can.

Thank you.
