Industry pros, entertainers and civilians assembled by the hundreds today for United Talent Agency’s “United Voices” rally outside the company’s Beverly Hills headquarters.
Among the featured speakers at the event protesting Trump administration immigration policies was Oscar-winner Jodie Foster, who told the crowd that “it’s time to engage.”
“As the very, very dead Frederick Douglass one said, ‘Anytime is a good time for illumination,'” Foster said. “And this is the time for illumination. I believe this time is filled with light.” UTA canceled its annual Oscars bash and organized the event after Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning immigration from several majority-Muslim nations. The ban was repeatedly halted by Federal courts and the administration eventually abandoned it. Trump is expected to unveil another executive order on immigration some time next week.
UTA Oscar Protest Among those present were Rodrigo Moran and Meron Semedar from the advocacy group Refugee Nation. The duo were invited to attend by UTA, and carried with them a large orange flag designed by a Syrian refugee named Yara Said. Said, said Moran, based the flag on the life vest she wore while escaping from the war-torn Middle Eastern nation.
“I’m here to hopefully lend some credence to the notion that Donald Trump doesn’t represent all of America,” said commercial photographer August Gering. “Hopefully, the majority of this country strongly disagrees with the things he’s trying to do, and we won’t stand for it.”
“Outlander” star Sam Heughan was also on hand, telling TheWrap. “We’re just here, not to bash anyone.” Europe, he said, wants “the best for this glorious country. America’s such a great country, we look up to you guys and we know you’ll do the right thing.”

I’m more interested in what a hot dog vendor says than what these self-congratulatory self-important clueless vapid guilt-ridden shallow irrelevant irrational boring pipsquicks have to say.
I dunno, she's pretty close to my age and I had a huge crush on her when she played Becky Thatcher.
Not the only one..
Totally selfish of Foster.
Being she is a globalist since her money is based on how she does globally, of course she is against an America first President with a pro-America growth agenda.
Notice these celebrities who haven’t done squat in years all of a sudden come out of the woodwork to trash Trump so they can get parts in films and get invited to cocktail parties
I saw her and her partner-whatever at the breakfast diner on the lower level in the Beverley Hills Hotel about two years ago. I was surprised by how short and shrivelled up she looked. Plain as the day is long.
Robert Davi said it best tonight on Tucker’s show..if these celebrities care about the refugee community SO much, invite some of them to the Oscars..invite them into their multi million dollar mansions I bet they have PLENTY of room
“hundreds”
WOW
“As the very, very dead Frederick Douglass said ...”
What the ..?! Never go full-retard little fur-trapper.
Rise of the third wave lesbians.
Point is missed here.
She was an abused child actor,
... and now protecting that underworld.

Go live in a foreign country like y’all #FakedThreats and you can rub noses with all the “diverse” types you want, Jodie
You could even play prostitute there.....a lesbian one
She is an atheist and is an avid supporter of gun control.
She was stalked by Pres. Reagan shooter, John Hinckley, who was obsessed with her. She lives in LA and her net worth is $100 million, plus.

Did she ever tell people who the father of her kid was?
He's deporting all their slave labor.
I wonder if she’s trying to inspire him again.
Jodie is using the witch religious slogans. What a creep.
Rich, white elites commanding the useful idiots to support their rule over them.
And still, no one here is curious to know the name of the producer who abused her at age 14 ...
and why today she’s still covering for these creeps.
