Union gives strength — Aesop

[ACLU Staff United @ACLUStaffUnited]

ACLU Staff United and @NonprofitUnion have filed unfair labor practice charges against ACLU’s executive management for violating employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act. https://t.co/C2MNvC25Au

@ACLUDCunion Punishment for unionizing = illegal under #nlra

[Rep. Stacey Plaskett @StaceyPlaskett]

The U.S. has a colonies problem, and today #SCOTUS took the side of those refusing to admit it. By denying Fitisemanu, the justices permit U.S. territory residents to be treated as second-class citizens and allow the racist #InsularCases to keep them “separate and unequal.” 1/2

[Hispanic Federation @HispanicFed]

Our federal government has a moral and legal responsibility to help the US citizens of #PuertoRico recover from the #HurricaneMaria tragedy just as it would help any other group of American citizens. #TakeAction4PR #HurricaneMariaRecovery https://t.co/9m0gu5wdYG

1/6 It’s great that @POTUS is helping bring much-needed aid to #PuertoRico. Not so great though that his Admin continues propping up the #InsularCases and the colonial framework they established. Here’s what you need to know about los #CasosInsulares.

[ACLU @ACLU]

The Insular Cases still prevent millions of people — overwhelmingly people of color — from accessing certain constitutional rights and protections.

It's long past time for the Supreme Court to strike down the Insular Cases once and for all.

[Ava Lorelei Deakin @AvaL_Author]

@AliwandoORTZ is an awesome attorney who has worked to protect workers' free association rights and to promote economic justice. You can check out a few of his articles on the @ACLU's website!

Biden's DOJ continues to rely on explicitly racist cases to supports its view of how the Constitution should be read: https://t.co/sLmCHo06sd #racialjustice

From Amazon to Trader Joe's, workers are organizing.

Former National Labor Relations Board attorney @AliwandoORTZ talks to @DelyanneMoney about why labor unions are on the rise and how workers are fighting for dignity and better pay.

Listen now. https://t.co/dyAqbRXEQt

DOJ needs to put its money where its mouth is and STOP relying on these overtly racist cases. #justice #racialjustice #ACLU #Biden

[ACLU @ACLU]

Over 100 years ago, the US Supreme Court issued a series of rulings known as the Insular Cases that still prevent millions of people — overwhelmingly people of color — from accessing certain constitutional rights.

These rulings continue to uphold systemic racism today.

My name is Andy Parker. When my daughter was killed on live TV, I had a choice to retreat into my grief or honor Alison’s life through action.

Now, I am running for Congress as a proud Democrat to fight for Virginia. Help me by retweeting, following, and amplifying my message.

[ACLU Staff United @ACLUStaffUnited]

It's a big day for us! Our Bargaining Committee is having its first virtual sit-down with @NonprofitUnion and @ACLU Management to discuss the future of remote work at our organization. Excited to rep our members, and looking forward to a productive working relationship.

[Alejandro Agustín Ortiz @AliwandoORTZ]

Hoping many of the 1 million Amazon workers soon to be informed of their union rights take advantage of them: #union #NLRB #Amazon https://t.co/beVXZbciqt. .

[Alejandro Agustín Ortiz @AliwandoORTZ]

@gillianganesan you're a badass union organizer and advocate for your colleagues.

[ACLU Staff United @ACLUStaffUnited]

Here's hoping the @ACLUofIL can get back to fighting threats to civil liberties instead of fighting the unionization of its staff.

[ACLU @ACLU]

Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case that could uphold the rights of Puerto Rico residents.

People who live in Puerto Rico are entitled to live under the full protections of the US Constitution. Period.

Tomorrow #SCOTUS will hear the Vaello-Madero case. 👀 We'll be following in hopes the court ends the discriminatory exclusion of the millions of mostly Black and brown people living in the territories from critical SSI benefits.

Learn more about the case. https://t.co/ncLRhLYmx7
