This is the America I believe in
Feb. 1st, 2017 04:47 pmOverall I try to stay away from political rants or flailing in my DW and LJ (because there would be SO much flailing), but I saw this picture of a Muslim girl and Jewish boy protesting next to one another and shared it with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ride_4ever who tracked down some updated information about it and it's just so perfect I had to share it with everybody else:
Nine-year-old Adin sits on his father Rabbi Jordan Bendat-Appell's shoulders smiling at Meryem, 7, who sits on her father Fatih Yildirim's shoulders while the dads carry signs saying “empathy" and “we’ve seen this before, never again.”
The two families were at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport Monday night protesting President Donald Trump’s travel ban and got to talking and they're going to meet next Friday for Shabbat dinner. (article one, article two)
There's a lot of awful stuff out there right now, but some good stuff too. Try to remember that.
