Priyanka Chopra has spoken out against Donald Trump’s ban of immigrants. The Quantico star took to LinkedIn to share her thoughts on the issue and how deeply troubled she is by it.
The US, has always acknowledged that it is a country built by immigrants. The anger, frustration and helplessness that has followed US State Department’s 90-day ban of people from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the US is justified. As a global citizen, this has deeply affected me.Priyanka Chopra, LinkedIn
Priyanka has been officially named an International Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and has been working on projects revolving around children’s rights and education for a long time now. And since the ban would primarily and devastatingly affect children, Priyanka feels it’s imperative to raise awareness about the issue.
Can we change the headlines of tomorrow? Maybe not in a day or a year or even a few years, because we know the battle is long and day-to-day but we must continue to work towards building a world where children’s rights are respected and protected. There is no option to that.
