Stop Trump's Muslim Ban!

by New Worker correspondent

Anger at Donald Trump’s Muslim ban erupted on the streets of London last week when thousands rallied outside the American embassy in Grosvenor Square to protest at the new US president’s racist travel ban, which is now being challenged in the American courts.

Called by the Stop the War Coalition, Stand Up to Racism, the Muslim Association of Britain, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and a number of other anti-racists movements, the demonstrators then marched to Downing Street to call on the Prime Minister, Theresa May, to cancel the proposed state visit of the American president. A petition calling on the government to withdraw the invitation to President Trump because it would cause "embarrassment" to the Queen has received more than 1.8 million signatures.
