Elie Wiesel once said "I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

Everyone who speaks out is making a difference. The more people that speak out and condemn Trump the better. Especially when celebrities and prominent people speak out it hurts Trump's ego which helps stop him.

I urge you to never be silent and always speak out.
