Chelsea Clinton Takes Daughter Charlotte, 2, to Her First Protest in Support of Muslims

Among the protesters filling Time Square in New York City for the “Today, I Am a Muslim Too” event on Sunday was a first-time protester: Chelsea Clinton’s 2-year-old daughter, Charlotte.

The former First Daughter and only child of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to post a photo of the scene and share that Charlotte was also participating in the rally held in response to the executive order President Donald Trump signed that put a temporary ban on travelers from seven countries with predominantly Muslim populations and refugees from all nations.

“Thank you to all who organized #IAmAMuslimToo today – Charlotte’s 1st protest rally. #NoBanNoWallNoRaids,” Chelsea captioned a snap featuring a popular protest sign that shows a woman wearing an American flag hijab.

The protest was organized in part by hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, who spoke to the crowd with an American flag backdrop.

You remind me that one of our 10-year-old grandsons is an hour away from us up in Georgia, when we're there, who's outraged by 45's election for all the right reasons, but his Danish mother also found him crying one day out of fear she'd be deported. I've spoken to him about it, but he needs to feel empowered and to create memories he can be proud of. We'll start when we return this summer by making signs, and then carrying them. Thanks.
