========================

Many of the twists and turns of this new Trump Administration involve complex legal decisions that are politically charged as they fire through the walls of the White House and Capital Hill. When the Travel Ban was announced, severely limiting the entrance of all refugees and those entering the United States from seven Muslim countries, the nation pushed back and cried foul. And earlier this week thousands hung on every word of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals as they conducted a conference call determining the merit of Trump’s Travel Ban.

Today Washington-based veteran Attorney Elliott Hall will walk us through the appeals process so that we can better understand why this immigration issue has torn our country apart. We’ll also learn more about the legal issues facing the administration as they close in on their first month of governing a nation taking sides on every decision made by Donald Trump.

Resources and Organizations For Civic Engagement

The Indivisible Guide: www.indivisibleguide.com
The guide, which began as a Google doc last month and whose full title is Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda, outlines a step-by-step process of grassroots organizing and advocacy targeting Members of Congress (MoCs), from coordinated calls to sit-ins and photo op disruption.

ACLU: American Civil Liberties Union: www.aclu.org
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonpartisan, non-profit, organization whose stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States." It works through litigation, lobbying, and community empowerment.

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: www.naacpldf.org
The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (NAACP LDF, the Inc. Fund, or LDF) is a leading United States civil rights organization and law firm based in New York City.
The organization can trace its origins to the legal department of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that was created by Charles Hamilton Houston in the 1930s. However, in 1940, Thurgood Marshall established LDF as a separate legal entity and, in 1957, the organization became totally independent of the NAACP.

While primarily focused on the civil rights of African Americans in the U.S., LDF states it has "been instrumental in the formation of similar organizations that have replicated its organizational model in order to promote equality for Asian-Americans, Latinos, and women in the United States." LDF has also been involved in "the campaign for human rights throughout the world, including in South Africa, Canada, Brazil, and elsewhere."

By Carole Copeland Thomas

As an African American professional who has spent a lifetime in my community, I will detail the reasons why most black voters won’t vote for Donald Trump on November 8th. I’ve spent nearly 30 years crisscrossing the country speaking and training on diversity, multiculturalism and leadership…and the legacy of our nation is at stake with this upcoming election.

Today’s show is designed to separate reality from fiction…to set the record straight about the collective ideology of a resilient group of people whose blood, sweat and tears helped build this nation.

Although a small percentage of black people will vote for Trump, and an even smaller percentage will vote for third party candidates, the majority of African Americans will vote for Hillary Clinton this fall.

This program is designed to set the record straight and help you, my listeners, understand why the outcome of this presidential election is based in part on how blacks will cast their votes in this election. I should know. They are my people. I’ve known them all my life.

===============

The 8 Reasons Why Blacks Won't Vote For Donald Trump For President

1. History and migration from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party
From 1930s to the 1960s.

2. Trump As The Head Of The Birther Movement

3. Code Words and Slogans Used
"Make American Great Again"

4. Hate Speech Toward African Americans
Unemployed, Poverty, Getting Shot Walking Down The Street

5. Past Discriminatory Practices
Housing Discrimination in the 1970s
Employment Practices in the 1980s

6. Black Surrogates like Pastor Mark Burns, Omarosa and Don King

7. General Attitude of Trump Toward:
Women, Mexicans (Building The Wall), Latinos/Hispanics/,Muslims (The Khan Family),Women and Weight (Miss Universe), Immigrants in General (Syrians), Anyone who Criticizes Him

8. Reviving Stop and Frisk in Urban Areas
