Simon Helberg, the star of The Big Bang Theory and Florence Foster Jenkins, made his feelings clear when he attended the SAG Awards with his wife Jocelyn Towne, and they protested against Donald Trump’s immigration ban.

Meanwhile Scandal star Kerry Washington also spoke out in solidarity of refugees on Instagram, explaining that she would be wearing a safety pin at the awards show.

She posted this picture on Instagram with the caption: “I’ll be wearing one of these tonight. On my arm. To show solidarity. We will not stop fighting for our safety & the safety of our fellow citizens and human beings. #NoBanNoWall #safetypin”

Kerry wore the safety pin on the left shoulder of her white gown.
