Last Friday, President Trump signed an executive order suspending the entry of refugees from Syria and all citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen into the United States. Though an emergency stay has been granted and there will certainly be further developments in the days to come, we wanted to discuss what we saw on Reddit over the weekend and communicate where we stand.

After news of the executive order broke, discussions of the immigration restriction and protests that followed reached the top of many of Reddit’s largest communities, including r/news, r/worldnews, r/pics, and r/politics. Over the course of the weekend, we saw responses to the news at the top of communities with no ties to politics, like r/movies, r/nba, and r/soccer; local communities like r/Michigan, r/SeattleWA, and r/boston; international subreddits like r/canada and r/australia; and even r/HumansBeingBros.

Beyond simply reacting to the news, we saw redditors turning to each other for support in r/legaladvice, r/immigration, r/CasualConversation, and country-specific travel threads like that in r/iran. And in r/islam, redditors from other religious backgrounds asked how they could support Muslim Americans at this time—as attorneys and neighbors, Christians and atheists alike. Finally, at the corporate level, we’ve seen redditors embrace statements of solidarity from the leaders of Airbnb, Netflix, SpaceX, Apple, and Microsoft.

At Reddit, we pride ourselves on offering a place for hundreds of millions of users to find their home online in tens of thousands of diverse communities, regardless of their religion or where they are from. Reddit would not exist today without immigrants—from our founders and employees to our moderators and users.

Core to our company philosophy is to remember the human. By remembering the human, we acknowledge that we are all fundamentally connected regardless of origin. Inclusiveness is central to the diversity of our community and without it, Reddit would not be the engaging, complicated, infuriating, inspiring, wildly creative place we love to explore. For that reason we stand with our friends, family, colleagues, and redditors feeling under threat right now and want to continue to do what we do best: provide a platform for your voices.

And for all of you who are immigrants, children of immigrants, or grandchildren of immigrants, we invite you to share your family’s story on Reddit. Our co-founder Alexis Ohanian will start.
