Hundreds of people attend a Wednesday evening rally at Washington Square Park in New York City in support of Muslims and immigrants and against the building of a wall along the Mexican border.

 

The #NoBanNoWall tag has cropped up on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and the stories that accompany each post have been incredibly powerful.

Here are some of those stories:

During the Holocaust, fear of the vulnerable killed many in my family.
