Milana Vayntrub, who plays the popular ad character, is trying to mobilize the world to help a group of people she barely knows — but with whom she has an emotional connection.
To that end, the Los Angeles-based actress has set up a website with the ironic name of Can't Do Nothing that has already raised thousands of dollars for refugee relief and convinced more than a million people to join her efforts by giving their time or money.

With the election of Donald Trump, who has vowed to block Syrians from the United States, Vayntrub says there's even more need to "do something now."
"I think a lot of Americans forget that they are not originally from here, that somebody in their past was a refugee," she told NBC News.
SMH in wonder how the children of immigrants could be so callous! I remember when the President stood before the country - well his words will suffice:
Yet, I was there watching listening & proud. Other's also tasked as 'Super Power' protectionors (or say THEY presently say) were off taking selfies & licking the 'wounds of their 'One-Term' wet dreams Butt-Kicking (the We that "Did Not Whine!") Off playing Isolationist - even. They heard not the pleas of Syria or the weak portion that being isolationist puts you in -
But it 'ain't the 1930's or (more accurately) the 1940's - different place, same mentality(I guess!) Do your own research - 1933 Elected Chancellor, America goes to War 1941.
Again Bill O'Really & Maher are 'cousins' distant, yet related & that .1%
Yep, they got that too! Purity is an illusion that Humanity can I'll afford to continue to entertain, but Petey says "Logic" isn't my strong suit & Integrity, Petey suits me just FINE - if this is what passes for the "Logic" one wishes to Peddle!
