Chairman, President, and CEO c/o The Trump Organization 725 Fifth Avenue New York NY 10022 Dear Mr. Trump: Today is International Human Rights Day, celebrated by thousands of people world-wide. I would like to extend to you an invitation to visit Winnipeg and, specifically, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights opened last year in Winiiipeg with the mandate to enhance the publics understanding of human rights, to promote respect for others and to encourage reflection and dialogue. Since its inauguration, the museum has garnered critical praise and visitors from around the world, not only for its exhibits, but also for its stunning architecture and design. It is truly a spectacular attraction. My invitation comes today. on International Human Rights Day, in light of the recent traumatic events in Paris and around Ihe world, and in response to your political and personal reaction to them. As you fight to close doors on foreign Muslims in the United States, Canada is preparing to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees. Of those 25,000 refugees, our province of Manitoba will accept up to 2,000. Although we have inevitably seen some opposition to this plan, the reaction of Manitobans and Winnipeggers in general has been overwhelmingly positive. As a proud Winnipegger, I believe the reason for our tolerance, acceptance and desire to help conies from a deep understanding of other cultures. We embrace and celebrate our multiculturalism and we understand that in diversity there is strength. Mr. Trump. it is my hope that in visiting our city and, in particular, our museum. you might develop a more profound sense of compassion and tolerance for others. At the very least, it is my hope that you might learn the Winnipeg way of cultural inclusion. Sincerely,
Aboard the Commandante Pineres: Dominica, The 11th World Festival of Youth & Students, Cuba July 1978, & the Caribbean Struggle for National Liberation
