People who lost family members in the September 11 terror attacks are rallying in New York City’s Battery Park on Thursday against U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban, sending the message that they do not sanction “discrimination in our loved one’s names.”<\/p>\n

During the demonstration, which was organized in part by The Interfaith Center of New York and September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, protesters chanted “Let them in!” Some held signs that read “Not In Our Names” while others carried pictures of their lost loved ones.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The morning’s vigil was interrupted at one point by a lone Trump supporter. A Facebook live video of the protest was filmed by Mic<\/em> senior staff writer Aaron Morrison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
