Celebs Are 'Sharing' Padma Lakshmi's Fourth of July Dessert—and Its Powerful Political Message
"I'll say it once more; SEEKING ASYLUM IS NOT ILLEGAL. I will be calling my reps tomorrow and I hope you join me. Thank you @padmalakshmi 💜," Philipps wrote in the caption of her regram.
"I can’t stop thinking about all the men, women and children asylum seekers who will spend today—a day celebrating our American freedoms—in overcrowded camps with scarce resources, far from home, scared and uncertain about what tomorrow holds," The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's Rachel Brosnahan said. "I’ll be donating to @raicestexas today in honor of the America I wish we were and still believe we can be. Please keep these families in your hearts and minds today and every day until we no longer need to be having this conversation. Hold our leaders accountable."
Moore shared Lakshmi's image on her Instagram Stories, while many others, like Amy Schumer and Christy Turlington, re-grammed Lakshmi.
Apparently other people had the same idea, too:
For Lakshmi, the holiday—and message—is personal: "When I was two my mother left India to build a better life for us here in America while I stayed behind with my grandparents,” she said in a speech, according to People. “I was loved and safe. But still, I’d sit at the gates of my home every day, waiting for my mom to come home and take me back with her.”
