  • To make it crystal clear to the incoming Trump administration that we will unfailingly defend the Constitution and the civil rights of women and minorities in our country, as well as the human rights of immigrants and prospective immigrants. To hereby reject the elements of the President-Elect's 100 day plan which encroach on these rights.
  • To protest his selection of staff and cabinet members who are known to be affiliated with hate speech and white supremacist, anti-minority rhetoric.
