Muslim student groups around Ivy League protest Trump Presidency
In response to disturbing reports from around the country of violence following the election of 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump, the Yale Muslim Students Association plans to combat hateful rhetoric by fundraising, according to the Yale Daily News.
With the money the organization has raised, it plans to start “addressing different aspects of recent hate crimes,” Yale Daily News reporter Daniella Cohen wrote. So far they have raised “$3,000 of the $20,000 goal.”
The Penn Muslim Student Association is hosting a Brief Trauma Focused Workshop in Houston Hall today from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Additionally, many Penn students of all races came together for a Solidarity March after the election chanting phrases such as “not my president” and “love Trumps hate.” It is likely protests will continue to erupt with a looming Trump presidency.
