The campaign is part of MoveOn.org Political Action’s #UnitedAgainstHate campaign.
“We believe it is our responsibility to use our platforms to bring attention to the dangers of a Trump presidency, and to the real and present threats of his candidacy,” says an open letter signed by the celebrities.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time when fear excused violence, when greed fueled discrimination, and when the state wrote prejudice against marginalized communities into law …. Some of us come from the groups Trump has attacked. Some of us don’t. But as history has shown, it’s often only a matter of time before the ‘other’ becomes me.”
Among the communities it says Trump has attacked are: Mexican and Latino people, black people, LGBTQ people, women and their health care providers, Asians, refugees, people with disabilities, working class people, American prisoners of war, and others.
“We call upon every American to join us,” the letter says, “to stand together on the right side of history, to use the power of our voice and the power of our vote to defeat Donald Trump and the hateful ideology he represents.”

Ah, yes, celebrities. The most intelligent, hard-working, underprivileged, and poorest segment of our population.
This is the best reason to vote for TRUMP.
Big deal! Celebrities are the lowest forms of humanity on earth.
Donald Trump is a celebrity and a bad person.
Wow, they’ve sure got their facts wrong. It seems like they’re the ones being blindly hateful. I’m astounded by the generalizations they’re making too.
Mexican and Latino people
I don’t know who any of those people are but Donald Trump alone is enough reason to vote against Trump. Gary Johnson is a viable alternative.
