#labornotesconference If you’re there - go get Who’s Got The Power by @dskamper. It’s great. Kamper helps orient outsiders to exciting labor campaigns while still making you feel like you’re there on the inside, ready to taking action with members and their unions. Check it out!

New York streets belong to New Yorkers, and Soccer Streets are for the kids.

We’re turning the block outside your school into a car-free soccer pitch, playground, and World Cup celebration all at once.

Now until June 26, you’ll find Soccer Streets in front of 50 public schools across all five boroughs. Let’s play!

Shadowy and unaccountable sheriffs have long had deep ties to the far right and white power movement, blurring the lines between police power and immigration enforcement. This is such a useful historical look at the roots of the deportation machine~ https://t.co/YK8qwkXkdq

@n_hold Hello Nate. Not an answer to your question but where I work we had a retired professor donate Culture and Society, Problems in Materialism and a few other R Williams titles that I can send to you. I admire your research and plan to read the injured workers book soon!

This is exactly the type of work our membership does! At a time when the most vulnerable communities are under increased attack, legal and human services providers are a frontline defense against the billionaire agenda. This is why it’s so vital to fund this work!

So proof of stealing jobs has been discovered: “Eligible workers in the US lost out on about 130,000 jobs over a 10-year period because they were incorrectly flagged by E-Verify, a 2017 Cato study based on government data estimated.” https://t.co/RY00vMbRPj

These striking workers at a Mauser plant in Chicago are demanding protections from federal immigration authorities. They want management to turn away ICE and DHS, unless they present a signed judicial warrant. My report from the Teamsters 705 picket line. https://t.co/bGpKycLzl5

I tried explaining crypto to my nine year old and she said, “It sounds like someone is trying to sell you their imaginary friend.”

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Immigrants are vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

The agenda of mass deportations is anti-worker. As AFL-CIO President @LizShuler says, we’ll show up and speak out for ALL working people when there’s injustice. https://t.co/kL5P4CM3zh

Must-read by @brittny_mejia

Video shows immigration agents interrogating a Latino U.S. citizen: “I’m American, bro!”

“It’s just scary, walking while brown, walking while dirty, coming home from work, there’s a high chance you might get picked up.”
