As President Donald Trump’s executive order took effect last Friday, scores of people from seven majority Muslim countries were blocked from entering the US. Thousands of US citizens showed up at airports across the country. Some were there to protest, others to share their message of support and simply say, “We welcome refugees.”

Their signs were and are a welcome respite amid the chaos Trump’s executed order continues to cause. For instance, a Jewish family stood in Virginia with signs reading, “Our Jewish family stands with Muslim refugees & Muslim Americans.”

Here are 17 signs from people who spent their Friday night standing up for refugees.
