49 Artists Around The World Respond To Trump’s Refugee Ban
As you probably already know by now, Donald Trump recently issued a controversial order banning people from several predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
Unsurprisingly, people have been quick to voice their outrage while simultaneously expressing their solidarity with those affected by the ban. Many people have been resorting to art to make their feelings clear, and Hank Green has gone one step further. "For every reply to this tweet with a hand-drawn message of support for immigrants, Muslims, and/or refugees, I will donate $5 to the ACLU," he wrote on Twitter. True to his word, he's already donated over $5,000 USD to the American Civil Liberties Union to help them in their fight to ensure that what Trump does is within the realms of the law. Check out some of our favorite drawings in the list below, and feel free to show your support by adding your own to the collection. Don't forget to vote for your favorite, and if you want to support the ACLU, you can donate to them here.

lisen my friend if you are trying to say obama is bad im gonna have to shout your a*s up in a very rude way so explain your self
I read on CNN news that Greeen Card holders, double-citizenship holders and legal refugees with granted status will be permitted into US withing days after undergoing a throrough background check up. So not forever (as the ban itself isn't forever - 90 days for visa holders, 120 for new refugees) and something a bit different than in the picture... :x
My friend from Germany said that was someone "who was forced to study German history intently.... Im scared for where the US is going" pretty eye opening and scary!
Süß gezeichnet und es reimt sich! *like* (Ein Upvote für die kleine Marie)
Hey aliens....try another planet, we need a few years to accept each other,...make it decades
Kimberly, I think that you wouldn't like it either if you desperately needed help and you knock on a neighbor's door, and they just slam it in your face.
Yeah now let's shave down mount Rushmore and bring back the Seven Grandfathers mountain. And also take over the estates and give the land back to the Native American. Woo yeah
the smile, and the eyes.... i hate this country... i would let her in no matter what i had to pay. she deserves a good life, full of happiness and love. and yes i realise this is not a photo of a girl, but there are so many little girls like this who just want to escape horrors beyond my or your belife.
Guys... you may not like to hear this and I know it sucks for those people who are truly good and are muslim... but the culture (especially the fundamentalist and extremists) that many of these people have are very different from more modern civilizations and it's already resulting in very bad clashes in Europe. Many of the men from these areas that were banned view women as second class citizens. The New Years event in Cologne (Germany) is a perfect example. Many women were dragged away by hordes of men gathered in an area and molested/raped. Rape and crime has increased because it is a culture integration issue. British Muslim polls show that 52% still believe that being gay should be outlawed. Many still hope that Sharia law will dominate. I sincerely hope this changes with time but it's an issue that is growing in countries that have allowed massive amounts of refugees in and they are seeing the consequences. ISIS also uses these opportunities to infiltrate countries.
Glad to see there's still people with good sense here. Mic drop!
Load More Replies...It would be nice if the news services and their followers, like BoredPanda, showed the TRUE information - the restrictions are 120 days for refugess and 90 days for visa holders. Poeple with double citizenships, green card holders and permanent residents as long as the refugees with granted status will be let into US within days after going a through a thorough background check. I understand the frustration and all, but please remember Obama did the similar thing in 2011. To be clear : I understand it hurts "normal" please and I solidarize with them, however please spread accurate news.
BoredPanda is a wonderful site, but it was tainted by the anti-Trump mania. The role of the press should be to check the facts and spread the news impartially, but recently virtually all media outlets don't care about it.
