As Salaamu Alaykum, Robert—

*Donald Trump is assembling a cabinet of some of the most divisive figures
in America*—some of them with direct ties to white nationalist and
anti-Muslim hate groups—drawing praise from the KKK and the American Nazi
Party.1

The same destructive ideology that fueled the Klan's decades-long reign of
terror is going to be hooded in the legitimacy of the White House and the
federal government, if Trump has his way.

*We must oppose any cabinet or White House appointees who don't believe in
human and civil rights for all of us. *

*The Senate has the power to block some of these appointments. Can you call
your Senators today to demand that they oppose Trump's nominees?

*We're not exaggerating about how harmful and divisive these men could be.*
It started with Trump advisor Kris Kobach—the anti-immigrant author of the
9/11 Muslim registry program and SB 1070 racial profiling law. Then it got
worse with Steve Bannon, Trump's pick for Chief Strategist, who built a
media empire *peddling white nationalism2 and has been celebrated by the
KKK and the American Nazi Party.*3

Here are some low points from the nominees so far:

   - *Mike Flynn*, proposed National Security Advisor, sits on the board of
   ACT for America, known to the Southern Poverty Law Center as *the
   country's largest anti-Muslim group*. He claims that Islam isn't a
   religion and has referred to it as a "cancer."4

   - *Jeff Sessions*, potential Attorney General, has a *history of racism
   against immigrants5 and Black people and opposition to the Voting Rights
   Act.*6

   - *Mike Pompeo*, who could head the CIA, is a *proponent of torture and
   could expand—rather than close—Guantanamo.*7

*Tell your Senators today: Oppose and block Trump's cabinet appointments
and denounce his racist advisors who don't need Senate confirmation.
