After months of negotiations with their graduate workers, over 1,500 workers went on strike over the University of Rochester's refusal to schedule a union election.

I proudly stand with them and urge the university to stop the delays and schedule this election NOW.

Lewelyn has lived in the U.S. for 50 years. She’s a green card holder, a lab technician at UW Medicine, and a trusted pillar in her family. Now, she’s in ICE detention while trying to come home after visiting loved ones in the Philippines.

She’s part of our union family. And what’s happening to her could happen to any one of us.

We’re calling on UW to do better:
– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

✊🏽 Stand with Lewelyn. Stand with immigrant workers.

We all have to fight back against fascism. This is a test case and it couldn’t be more important we stop this and bring him home.

Mahmoud’s rights are our rights. If they can illegally abduct him and shred his legal rights, they will never stop. Anyone this lawless administration disagrees with can be targeted.

[Margaret Kimberley @freedomrideblog]

This is why they sent #MahmoudKhalil to Louisiana. They don't have grounds to revoke his green card so they shop for hanging judges and send him to a state with one of the highest incarceration rates in the nation.
His lawyers are still fighting for him and we should too.
