Held by the United Talent Agency outside of its Beverly Hills offices, the company brought together its clients, agents, and more for United Voices, a protest of the new policy.
Foster, 54, said though she is not comfortable with using her face for activism, she realised it was a time to engage.
"This year is a very different year, and it's time to show up. It's a singular time in history. It's time to engage. And as the very, very dead Frederick Douglass once said, 'Anytime is a good time for illumination.' And this is a time for illumination," said the actress.
Foster urged those in attendance to "resist," reminding everyone that "the White House is our house."
"No matter where you're born and no matter who you voted for, red or blue, whether you're white, black, or brown and all the identities of the identity rainbow - this is our time to resist. It's our time to show up and demand answers. It's our time to tell our elected officials to do their job. That we will not accept ineptitude, chaos, and warmongering."
