Jennifer Lawrence [1] has some experience with nationwide rebellions [2] under her belt, which she channeled in a heartfelt note about the #MuslimBan on Monday. The executive order indefinitely banning Muslim refugees from the United States [3] signed by reality-star-turned-President Donald Trump [4] on Friday drew plenty of criticism from Hollywood [5], and the Passengers [6] actress was one of the most vocal. She wrote a post on her Facebook page [7] pleading with the White House to reconsider its actions.
This isn't the first time Jennifer has come out swinging against the president, either. After the election, she wrote a passionate personal essay [8] for Vice's Broadly blog to inspire readers to fight. "Do not let this defeat you — let this enrage you! Let it motivate you! Let this be the fire you didn't have before," she said. "If you are an immigrant, if you are a person of color, if you are LGBTQ+, if you are a woman — don't be afraid, be loud!" If real life ends up being anything like The Hunger Games, Donald Trump [9] is the one who needs to be afraid. Very, very afraid.
