“唐納德·特朗普想把我們的國家帶回到黑暗的年代——在那個年代，恐懼是暴力的土壤，貪婪是歧視的溫床，偏見滋生的國家立法將邊緣群體逼入絕境。”

The letter adds: ‘When dangerous and divisive leaders have come to power in the past, it has been in part because those of goodwill failed to speak out for themselves or their fellow citizens.’
這封信還補充道：“過去，危險獨斷的政客之所以可以當政，部分歸咎于善良的人沒能為自己發聲，或沒能為自己的同胞發聲?！?/p>

‘Some of us don't. But as history has shown, it's often only a matter of time before the 'other' becomes me.'
“我們中有些人并沒有受特朗普攻擊。但歷史的真相已昭然若揭，‘我們’要在成為另一個‘他們’前，為‘他們’發聲。”

The letter urges: 'We call upon every American to join us to stand together on the right side of history, to use the power of our voice and the power of our vote to defeat Donald Trump and the hateful ideology he represents.'
這封信呼吁道：“我們懇請每一位美國人加入我們，站在歷史的正確一邊，勇敢地行使言論自由和票選權，堅定地給仇恨意識化身的唐納德·特朗普投上自己的反對票?！?/p>
