Adapted from “First They Came” By: Martin Niemöller

 

First he tried to come for the women, and thousands marched at the Women’s March-

Even though they were not women.

Then he tried to come for the Muslims, and hundreds protested at airports across the country-

Even though they were not Muslim.

Then he tried to come for the immigrants, and many boycotted on “A Day Without Immigrants”-

Even though they were not immigrants.

But he won’t come for me, because other people are willing to fight for me-

Even though they don’t know me.
