Thursday, June 14 marks the 72nd birthday of Donald Trump. To mark the day, John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen donated a lot of money to the American Civil Liberties Union as a protest against the White House's current policy of separating immigrant children from their parents seeking asylum at the southern border.
Legend revealed the plan in an Instagram post Thursday, mirroring a post put up by Teigen.
Read it below:
"Chrissy and I are outraged to see and hear the horror stories of immigrant families seeking asylum and refuge in America being ripped apart due to the inhumane policies of the Trump administration. These actions are cruel, anti-family and go against everything we believe this country should represent.
"The ACLU is committed to defending the rights and humanity of these vulnerable families. In addition to fighting for immigrants' rights, they're advocating for reproductive rights, voting rights, criminal justice reform, LGBT rights, 1st amendment rights and holding the Trump administration accountable whenever possible.
"The president celebrates his 72nd birthday today. On this auspicious occasion, in order to Make Trump's Birthday Great Again, each member of our family has donated $72,000 to the ACLU.
"If you would like to donate $7.20, $72, or whatever you like to the ACLU in honor of this blessed day, please go to www.aclu.org/72.
"With love, Chrissy, John, Luna and Miles."
