organised the demonstration that drew thousands to Cardiff city centre<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ash, 18, was born in England, but has lived in Singapore, Sweden and Cardiff, travelling the world with her father, an economic journalist for Reuters news.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ash said: \u201cI saw Owen Jones on Twitter talking about how Theresa May was going to be in Cardiff on Monday and that he was organising a protest and I thought: \u2018Well, why don\u2019t we have one here? Is there anything on Facebook yet?\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd from that it kind of turned into a whole thing. It was very unintentional.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Facebook event snowballed from a few hundred declared attendees on Sunday morning to more than 2,000 by Monday afternoon. The scale of the event took Ash by surprise and she found herself having to liaise with the police, the media and campaign groups who wanted to get involved.<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Ash Cox speech to Cardiff Anti-Trump demonstration\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aWw-pjeRSL4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Ash Cox speech to Cardiff Anti-Trump demonstration\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aWw-pjeRSL4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The demonstration mirrored other events organised in towns and cities across the UK, and Ash sees this as a major contributor to its success. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt ballooned. I think partially that was because Owen Jones tweeted a link to it and then people started compiling lists of where you could go in the UK for a protest or demonstration. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou see them in the States as well. It\u2019s such an interesting thing to happen that people curate these lists of where you can go if you want to protest.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ash spent much of her childhood living in Singapore, an experience she feels influenced her political beliefs.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe moved there for my father\u2019s work. I went to an international school there and my mother was involved with LGBT activism there. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s not very commonly known I don\u2019t think, but it is still officially illegal to be gay in Singapore. They don\u2019t have the best track record on LGBT rights.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s weird to go from a culture of censorship almost to a culture where on Facebook, in two days, I can create an event and post it in a couple of groups. I would have been amazed if a hundred people had turned up but then instead I got huge crowds.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As someone who has lived in several different countries, Ash empathises with displaced people living in the UK and the US today. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI have been in the position of being an immigrant. You\u2019re outside of a community, in a way, and it\u2019s a strange experience. Especially being an ethnic minority in a new country can be a really terrifying and horrible experience. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo I think there needs to be more of a way to show our solidarity and show that they are welcome here and that we do want them and appreciate their contributions to the nation.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ash plans to carry on with her activism, although she\u2019s hesitant about organising something as big as the Cardiff demonstration again. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI will definitely be more involved in local activism, I have been involved in it mildly in the past. But I don\u2019t know if it will be quite on the same scale as this because this was a draining experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ON Monday evening, thousands gathered under the Cardiff statue of Aneurin Bevan to protest at Theresa May\u2019s failure to denounce Donald Trump\u2019s executive order banning people from travelling to the US from seven Muslim-majority countries.
