On January 29th, Jewish Voice for Peace-Philadelphia joined with over 40 other organizations in coalition to protest Trump's executive orders banning all refugees as well as all citizens of 7 majority Muslim countries. Over 5,000 protesters converged at PHL International Terminal A West (Arrivals) to voice their opposition and to call on all relevant federal, state and local government agencies as well as airlines to follow their conscience by refusing compliance with the racist, inhumane, and illegitimate executive orders.
