I love it when they call it #BHAM. In Alabama this week, asking: What is standing in the way of Birmingham being the best version of itself? @SmithMegan + @TechJobsTour want to know. People don't mix. We stay in our own silos. We don't recognize low-income entrepreneurship. We do solutions to people instead of working collaboratively. Race and class are barriers to accessing capital. "We built a Navy destroyer in 33 days. If this was a war we would be winning this." During our visit to Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, we learned about the young people who fought for the lives of Black people in the 1960s. When we protect the lives of people, we unlock human potential. How can we honor the leadership of these freedom fighters by building the innovation economies our country needs to become peaceful and inclusive in the next 100 years? Honored to work with @TechJobsTour + 3rd USCTO Megan Smith and @alcole01 @lepitts @goleftmitali @domlet to catalyze innovation in tech ecosystems across the nation. Next up: Baltimore, Cleveland, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco.

Thank you everyone protesting and doing legal work at airports in the wake of the refugee ban signed on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Go to CallGov.us to meet famous people and experience notoriety. JANUARY 28, 2017 WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Brooklyn came to the aid of scores of refugees and others who were trapped at airports across the United States on Saturday after an executive order signed by President Trump, which sought to keep many foreigners from entering the country, led to chaotic scenes across the globe. The judge’s ruling blocked part of the president’s actions...but it stopped short of letting them into the country or issuing a broader ruling on the constitutionality of Mr. Trump’s actions. ... The president’s order, enacted with the stroke of a pen at 4:42 p.m. Friday, suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the United States for 90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. nydailynews.com reports that Trump doesn't hold any business interests in any of the countries on the list, but holds major stakes in several of those excluded from it. The Greek word holokaustos means "burnt whole". (Merriam-Webster) -- This is a script for calling to oppose Trump's ban on immigrants/US residents entering the US or returning to it. Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent of Representative _______/ Senator _________. I’m calling because I’m outraged by President Donald Trump's executive order stopping immigrants and residents of the US from Iran, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. I believe it is unconscionable to not allow refugees to escape danger, or green card residents to return home. This goes against our American values of religious tolerance, diversity, and respect for basic human dignity and rights. I’m calling to see if Rep. _________ / Senator ___________ plans to publicly oppose Trump' #endwhitesilence #allyship #queerallies #freedomlet #civics #protest #islamaphobia #refugees #antifascist (at San Francisco International Airport (SFO))
