The communities on the receiving end of Donald Trump’s most blistering comments deserve better.
Trump has made dangerous and derogatory statements that include calling Clinton a “nasty woman,” referencing “bad hombres,” once threatening an outright ban on Muslim immigration to the U.S. and suggesting vets with mental health issues are weak. It’s gotten to a point when even the Clinton campaign has officially labeled Trump a Regina George.
But his statements aren’t just a matter of being insolent or bombastic ― they’ve promoted stereotypes about entire ethnic groups and forced women to relive painful experiences of assault.
In response, we’re highlighting groups that fight for equality and justice and represent these individuals who are unequivocally undeserving of Trump’s attacks. You can help support these organizations by clicking the “donate” buttons below to visit #CantTrumpUs, a crowdfunding page The Huffington Post has set up.
This project is in partnership with CrowdRise and was inspired by Owen Ellickson.
