You've Got to See This Powerful PSA That Katy Perry Produced About Trump's Muslim American Registry Plan
There's been a whole lot of back-and-forth about what President-Elect Donald Trump believes he should do to protect the country from terrorism. He's advocated for a ban to keep Muslim people from even entering the country, and suggested that he might implement a national registry of Muslim people who are in the United States. One of his representatives even made a very scary comparison to the Japanese internment camps that incarcerated 120,000 Japanese American citizens during World War II as precedent for for singling out Muslims.

Now one major celebrity is speaking out against the hate that Trump's proposal would help normalize. While campaigning for Hillary Clinton, Katy Perry learned about the possibility of there being a Muslim registry under a Trump-leg government and decided to fight back. The result is her short film, which she produced, called #DontNormalizeHate.

The film, which draws strong parallels between the internment camps and the Muslim registry, tells the story of 89-year-old Japanese American Haru Kuromiya, whose family was interned in 1942 after her father was taken away by the FBI. She explains that her family was put on a registry and labeled with physical tags before being forced to leave everything they owned behind, including their pets, to live in an internment camp.

"We were an American farm family now living in an internment camp and our constitutional rights were taken away from us," Kuromiya says. "It all started with fear and rumors."
As the story ends, Kuromiya takes off her wig and prosthetic makeup to reveal that she's actually Hina Khan, a Muslim American actress, who looks directly at the camera and says, "Don't let history repeat itself."

“Trump has created an atmosphere of fear for Muslim Americans in the United States," co-director Aya Tanimura told the Los Angeles Times. "The accountability and responsibility for what you say and do now has been lifted so people feel a little freer to be racist, or act upon racism, because there are not necessarily consequences for it — it’s just acceptable behavior. If laws are put in place to back that up, it will be pretty scary. Katy has always been a champion of the underdog, of minorities, of the people who are kind of left of center, and she’s become more politically involved in the last few election cycles."

Perry plans to continue her activism by attending the Women's March on Washington next week, along with plenty of other celebrities and hundreds of thousands of others in support of women's rights.
