Join George Takei in saying: Never Again

Sign George Takei's Petition: Stand Up for Muslims in the U.S. Sign George Takei's Petition Dear friends, When I was just 5, my family was rounded up at gunpoint and forced from our home in Los Angeles into an internment camp. We were prisoners in our own country, held within barbed wire compounds, armed guards pointing guns down at us. It was an egregious violation of our rights under the U.S. Constitution, all in the name of "security." During that time, fear and racism drove government policy, creating a living hell for over 120,000 innocent Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens. I have spent my life trying to ensure something like this never happens again. But dark clouds once more are gathering. A spokesperson for the newly-inaugurated U.S. President, Donald Trump, recently stated the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II "sets a precedent" for Trump to do the same today. And Trump continues to stand by his plans to establish a Muslim registry and ban immigrants from "certain" Muslim countries from the U.S. It starts with a registry, with restrictions, with irrationally ascribed guilt, and with fear. But we know well where it might lead. Please sign my Care2 petition to let the Muslim community know you support them and oppose any policy targeting them based on their religion or national origin. Help send a message to Trump and his ilk that this will never again happen in America. Trump needs to know that the entire international community is watching him, and that we reject his fear-mongering and bigotry. Thank you,   George Takei Actor and Activist
