WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rebecca Cataldi from Arlington, Va. doesn’t remember exactly how she first heard of the thousands gathering across the country in outrage against President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban.
...............................
On Saturday, the one-year anniversary of the executive order announcing the ban, Cataldi and hundreds others gathered at a “No Muslim Ban Ever” rally outside the White House.
............................
The rally concluded with a half-hour march down the Pennsylvania Avenue offices of Customs and Border Protection. On a busy day of activism in the nation’s capital, protesters merged with a queer and transgender dance party outside the Trump Hotel calling for an end to sexual violence.
For many of the protesters, lawyers, and refugee workers who attended what they dubbed the “ban-iversary” on Saturday, the fate of the Muslim ban remained uncertain. Opposition has since shifted from the streets to the courts, and with the Supreme Court set to start hearings in the coming months, activists are hoping for a decisive victory in their favor.
