Leonard Peltier: “But I’m free. They didn’t break me.”

After nearly 50 years behind bars, Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier returned home today. Indigenous activists from @ndncollective and residents of Belcourt, North Dakota, gathered to celebrate his freedom after the decades of injustice he endured.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

The @NLRB protects workers’ right to form unions in their workplaces. President Trump illegally firing Gwynne Wilcox from the NLRB effectively shuts down their operations.

This is bad for working people and good for bosses that want to deny workers’ their right to organize.

300+ workers gathered in Toronto this week for our 1st Political Action Conference of the year, igniting a movement for change ahead of the 2025 federal election.
Together, we’re exposing corporate greed & building a future where workers come first. Let’s keep the momentum going!

British Columbia construction sites just got an upgrade. Thanks to lobbying by the #IBEW and other members of @WeBuildBC , jobsites with 25 or more workers now must provide flush toilets. https://t.co/A9n0jdVteK

With the recent devastating losses of seven lives to the intimate partner violence epidemic in Nova Scotia, we are renewing our call for province-wide mental health crisis teams: https://t.co/C3kvZ6289K

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Amazon shutting down operations in QC is a gross act of corporate union-busting and an attack on workers fighting for fair pay and safety.

It is clear: We need stronger labour laws to stop corporate bullying. https://t.co/2uzt35FOrU

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Spoke with the Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau today about the importance of standing united against Trump’s tariff threats. Workers want Canada to show strength and defend jobs.

President Trump's executive orders amount to an unprecedented attack on immigrant workers and families that will weaken our economy and our country.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Cecile Richards dedicated her life to protecting and expanding women’s rights. She never wavered in her commitment to ensuring that women had access to the reproductive health care they needed, and her leadership at Planned Parenthood led to the inclusion of important healthcare provisions in the Affordable Care Act.

Women of all ages knew they could count on Cecile, and Michelle and I will always be grateful for her advocacy. We send all our love to Kirk, Lily, Hannah, Daniel, and all those who loved and admired her.

[Claudia Chender @ChenderClaudia]

As temperatures drop, too many Nova Scotians are still sleeping outdoors with few options.
In addition to providing more & better warming and shelter services in real time, we again call on this government to prioritize the permanent affordable housing options Nova Scotians need.

Workers don't take Trump's tariff threats lightly. Canadian jobs are at stake and we need an all hands on deck approach to protect workers and our economy. We are ready to fight! 💪
