Wherever violence, fear & hatred thrive, working people cannot.

We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & delivery of life-saving supplies to the people of Gaza.

This call for peace is rooted in the pain that SEIU members are feeling, from the Jewish…

Dear politicians/political influencers:

When you evoke my father this #MLKDay , remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.

Don’t just quote him.

Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

✊Labor Power, Ceasefire NOW!🇵🇸
THIS THURSDAY, Join UAW Region 9A, The American Postal Workers Union - APWU, UE , Amazon Labor Union, National Writers Union, United Musicians and Allied Workers , Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union, CIR/SEIU and more to demand a permanent ceasefire now! No more US money for war crimes!

Workers unite for peace & justice in Palestine!🧵

.1199SEIU💫 has just released this statement calling for a ceasefire: 'We reject the notion that Israel’s attacks on hospitals filled with patients, apartment blocks filled with families, & the deaths of 11,000+ Palestinian women and children are acceptable collateral damage.'

I am a proud daughter of the UAW. It was an honor to stand alongside President Shawn Fain and other union leaders calling for a ceasefire now. I wish my dad was alive to see his union demand peace and justice for all.

One of the most powerful labor leaders in the country is heeding Palestinian unions’ plea for solidarity and calling for a desperately needed ceasefire. What’s your union’s excuse?

'The only path forward to peace and social justice is a ceasefire.” — #UAW President Shawn Fain today in D.C.

We are devastated by the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza—blocked by a solitary veto from the United States.

“By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.”

With the end of the temporary truce, the need for a ceasefire in Gaza is growing. We join our partner organizations like Education International, along with Jewish and Muslim leaders across the globe in the urgent call for an end to the violence. twitter.com/daveswords/sta…

The rounding up and arresting innocent men parading them for the cameras as combatants. The play has already been run in Afghanistan and Iraq. #NoOneBelievesYou

✅ | The San Antonio AFL-CIO Central Labor Council has called for a #CeasefireNOW .

36 local unions and over 30,000 member households are represented by the council.

This is what *real* union leadership looks like. The UAW—which represents 400,000 workers across the country—has called for a ceasefire. This is huge. Bless you Shawn Fain

.The American Postal Workers Union - APWU’s Mark Dimondstein & UAW’s Brandon Mancilla calling for a ceasefire & standing with a majority of working people supporting a ceasefire in Gaza.

Grateful to have labor leaders like them who are listening to their members.

.Shawn Fain is the labor leader we all want and need. Looking forward to more international and national unions call for a ceasefire!

UAW's call for a permanent ceasefire & justice in Palestine is 'as important as anything else that we're doing in this country,' says UAW Region 9A director Brandon Mancilla. 'For so long we've been silent & ignorant in the labor movement to this issue. And that time is over.'

THIS is the labor movement we so desperately need.

A labor movement that recognizes we are part of an international working class.

That we have an obligation to stand on the side of the oppressed.

Bravo to Shawn Fain and every member who fought for this
