Donald Trump is a dangerous bigot. His call for banning Muslims from entering the U.S. is an appeal to the worst element in American politics. I can’t think of a better way to respond than by raising funds for climate hawks Keith Ellison and André Carson, the only two Muslims in Congress.
Stand up against Trump: Contribute to Muslim climate hawks Keith Ellison and André Carson.
Rep. Keith Ellison, Democrat of Minnesota and chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, is one of the leading voices for climate justice in the country. He knows that climate pollution is harming Americans today—and he knows that the fights for jobs, justice, and a healthy planet are the same fight.
Rep. André Carson, Democrat of Indiana, became the second Muslim-American in Congress when he was elected in 2008. He has joined Ellison on a country-wide college tour to mobilize young Blacks for climate justice, and has been a vigorous defender of the Clean Power Plan. And in recent days, he’s been one of the strongest voices pushing back against the Islamophobic hate pushed by Trump and his allies.
At a time like this, Keith and André need our support. And they deserve it.
