Jennifer Lawrence's "The Hunger Games" role is the epitome of a woman going against a government that represses its citizens and it seems that the actress is using her position in order to let Americans have hope despite the victory of Donald Trump. Many celebrities have expressed their support for Hillary Clinton and Jennifer Lawrence penned an open letter over the win of Donald Trump.
The Oscar winner wrote the open letter and was published by Vice, Deadline reported. She asked the readers if the victory is the stark reality and that it does not matter how hard one works or how qualified one is because at the end of the day, if you are not a man, you will not be able to win the elections. She added that the United States was founded on immigration but today, she believes that the only people "that feel safe, that their rights are recognized and respected are white men."
She pointed out in her letter that women are worried now because they know that the president-elect Donald Trump is biased against women and that no matter how hard women work or how much they learn, there will always be a glass ceiling.

She also said that people are allowed to be sad but they should not feel defeated.
