[Palestinian Youth Movement @palyouthmvmt]

RAFAH: There is nothing left to say, we live in a world full of monsters and cowards. Ours is a struggling, beautiful people who fight for something different, and who are punished with every sadism this broken life has to offer. We continue our work, for them and for us.

[Raise The Floor Alliance @RaiseTheFloor]

We hosted a roundtable meeting with @ActSecJulieSu to discuss Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE) and strategies to preserve the rights of immigrant workers. Since DALE’s inception, RTF has secured deferred action in 500 cases at 45 worksites under investigation

the reputation of Chicago Police’s 11th district and tactical teams precede it. there’s plenty of public complaints to know it’s been sick. there’s no reason a team that killed Dexter Reed with 96 SHOTS should have been allowed to exist. endless & disgusting. there is no repair.

[Arise Chicago @AriseChicago]

“We are here today because #DALE keeps workers safe when reporting abuse, but the clock is ticking, and without additional guidelines from #DHS, workers will be exposed to the very retaliation this program was created to combat.” @RaiseTheFloor Director @chandum0ni

Kissinger supported Pakistan’s genocidal military against Bangladesh in 1971, and when Bangladesh won its liberation war, he coldly referred to the newly independent nation as a “basket case.”

May every Bengali martyr get their justice when they meet him on Judgment Day.

[Mo Weeks @mo87mo87]

Everybody is celebrating Kissinger dying and no one is thinking about the low wage workers forced to build an entire new level of hell at depths never reached before. You guys are so anti-labor. #1u

Free @MosabAbuToha beloved Palestinian word worker & dissident kidnapped by the IOF. End the siege on Gaza and the genocidal occupation of Palestine.

[Laura Albast @Lau_Bast]

Israeli forces KIDNAPPED my friend, the award-winning brilliant poet from Gaza, Mosab Abu Toha (@MosabAbuToha). His brother says Mosab and his young family were evacuating to the south as they have been asked by @StateDept to head to the Rafah Crossing to evacuate because Mosab's youngest son, Mostafa who is 3.5 years old, is a U.S. citizen.

As they approached a checkpoint heading toward the south, Israeli soldiers snatched Mosab from his family and no one has heard anything about him since. Just two months ago, Mosab and I were talking about literature at a cafe in Philadelphia. I cannot fathom this. He showed me pictures of his adorable children. Mostafa always makes silly poses for the camera.

I implore Massachusetts representatives to DO SOMETHING. Mostafa was born in Boston, bring his father, back. Bring Mosab back! @SenWarren @SenMarkey @AyannaPressley @RepMcGovern @sethmoulton.

For U.S. citizens, call your representatives NOW! For Mosab and all Palestinians in Gaza.

Low-wage workers across industries in Chicago partnered with @RaiseTheFloor to file sexual harassment charges against their current & former employers. Workers have few options when harassment begins, but this is the first step toward a potential lawsuit.

[sophia zaman @chandum0ni]

Had such a powerful & rejuvenating morning rallying against workplace sexual violence

Our bodies & our labor belong to us 🌹

[Warehouse Workers for Justice @WarehouseWorker]

Thank you to @RaiseTheFloor for everything they have done and are doing to stand up for workers against abuse and shoutout to all the organizations who came out to show their #solidarity and say enough is enough. #MyBodyOurPower #MiCuerpoNuestroPoder

[JVP Chicago @JVPChicago]

We’re blocking the entrance to the Israeli consulate and we’ll stay here until there is a ceasefire in #gaza!! #NOTINOURNAME #ceasefirenow

[Michael D. Rodriguez @AldRodriguez22]

Very proud of this hard working group who helped pass paid leave days off for the workers of Chicago. I hope this legislation sparks a movement across the country to value workers more.@chicagolabor⁩ ⁦@AriseChicago⁩ ⁦@RaiseTheFloor⁩ ⁦@shrivercenter⁩ ⁦

Hell no I didn’t want to be the photographer who document this tragedy

[Raise The Floor Alliance @RaiseTheFloor]

THIS TUESDAY: Rally behind workers speaking out against #sexualharassment at work. We are repping workers as part of a multi-industry effort to disrupt systemic practices that isolate and target workers. Join us to hear their stores and charges against several employers.

[sophia zaman @chandum0ni]

This win is for the working people who are the heart of our city. It’s about our right to rest and leisure, and building a world where we’re more than our labor.

We’ll get our bread, and our roses too!

[Raise The Floor Alliance @RaiseTheFloor]

Chicago officially passed the most progressive #PaidTimeOff policy in the nation. City Council voted YES to rest and care for ALL workers - not just those who can afford to miss out on a day’s work when life can’t wait.

[Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice @endmoneybond]

Illinois ending money bond is only possible because of the thousands of everyday people across our state that came together and said "we are not going to tolerate our neighbors being held in cages because they're poor."

Our movement has made history.

Today, we joined workers & @CTU_IWP to demand change from KIK Consumer Products. It’s time to put an end to years' long discrimination, sexual harassment, and unsafe work conditions. Here's a quick rundown from CTU Senior Organizer @lindaaflorr

[United Working Families @UWFIllinois]

UWF-Endorsed, Ald. Jeanette Taylor ( @taylorfor20th ) gave a speech for the history books during today’s City Council meeting.

Voicing her support for funding for asylum seekers she proclaimed “Hurt people don’t hurt people”.

if you're just tuning in to what's going on in Atlanta, three organizers with the Atlanta Solidarity Fund -- the city's largest bail fund -- were arrested this morning at their homes. ASF provides jail support to ensure those in police custody have their rights protected 1/
