Jodie Foster Leads Hundreds at Hollywood’s Anti-Trump Rally: ‘It’s Time to Engage’
The Wrap ^ | 2/24/2017 | Ross A. Lincoln, Itay Hod

Posted on 02/24/2017 8:00:32 PM PST by simpson96

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 must be the only one but I have always found her unattractive. So much so that I do not like seeing her in any media.

I’m boycotting the Oscars Sunday night.

I don’t want sanctimonious overpaid brats telling me I was selfish and stupid to vote for our President.

Enough already!

Met this tard and her partner/wife/whatever at a party years ago. Judging by her reaction, she was probably in shock that I was the only in the group who didn’t act impressed by this twat.

These people are millionaires - some billionaires even.

They are living the life that most Americans will never achieve of, let alone dream.

How exactly, is Trump threatening their livelihood? What has Trump done that will cause them to suffer financially?

‘Illuminate’ this!

‘He asked me to take my jacket off’: Jodie Foster recalls how a Hollywood producer tried to trick her into a secret meeting so he could ‘see her body’ at the age of 14

He called me at a friend’s house on the weekend when I was having a sleepover and he pretended that we had an appointment that I’d forgotten about.

My mom was out of town. He had me come to the appointment and he was talking to me and then asked me to take my jacket off and turn around so he could see my body.
