Time Magazine announced its shortlist for the Person of the Year on Monday, and alongside President Donald Trump are some major heroes of the Resistance.

Last year, Time gave the honor to “The Silence Breakers,” a title they gave to the group of women who spoke up about sexual harassment and assault and kicked off the #MeToo Movement.

Here’s the shortlist:

2. Separated Families

MCALLEN, TX - JUNE 12: A two-year-old Honduran asylum seeker cries as her mother is searched and detained near the U.S.-Mexico border on June 12, 2018 in McAllen, Texas. The asylum seekers had rafted across the Rio Grande from Mexico and were detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents before being sent to a processing center for possible separation. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is executing the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy towards undocumented immigrants. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions also said that domestic and gang violence in immigrants' country of origin would no longer qualify them for political asylum status.
