Wherever violence, fear & hatred thrive, working people cannot.

We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & delivery of life-saving supplies to the people of Gaza.

This call for peace is rooted in the pain that SEIU members are feeling, from the Jewish member concerned for her son’s safety in Tel Aviv, to the Muslim member who immigrated to this country from the Middle East to escape war, to SEIU healthcare workers who see themselves in the healthcare workers in Gaza who have been killed trying to save lives.

Dear politicians/political influencers:

When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.

Don’t just quote him.

Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

I am a proud daughter of the @UAW. It was an honor to stand alongside President @ShawnFainUAW and other union leaders calling for a ceasefire now. I wish my dad was alive to see his union demand peace and justice for all.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

One of the most powerful labor leaders in the country is heeding Palestinian unions’ plea for solidarity and calling for a desperately needed ceasefire. What’s your union’s excuse?

[UAW @UAW]

"The only path forward to peace and social justice is a ceasefire.” — #UAW President Shawn Fain today in D.C.

Fain consoles Tlaib whose late father was a UAW worker.

She says her father would be proud to see the union’s support .

We are devastated by the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza—blocked by a solitary veto from the United States.

“By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.”

[Becky Pringle @BeckyPringle]

With the end of the temporary truce, the need for a ceasefire in Gaza is growing. We join our partner organizations like @eduint, along with Jewish and Muslim leaders across the globe in the urgent call for an end to the violence. https://t.co/LBCjbFb0XY

The rounding up and arresting innocent men parading them for the cameras as combatants. The play has already been run in Afghanistan and Iraq. #NoOneBelievesYou

[Сeasefire Tracker @Ceasefire_Track]

✅ | The San Antonio AFL-CIO Central Labor Council has called for a #CeasefireNOW.

36 local unions and over 30,000 member households are represented by the council.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

This is what *real* union leadership looks like. The @UAW—which represents 400,000 workers across the country—has called for a ceasefire. This is huge. Bless you @ShawnFainUAW

[emily lemmerman @e_lemmerman]

.@APWUnational’s Mark Dimondstein & @UAW’s @mancillabrando calling for a ceasefire & standing with a majority of working people supporting a ceasefire in Gaza.

Grateful to have labor leaders like them who are listening to their members.

[Benjamin Dictor @BenjaminDictor]

I am incredibly proud to work with a union that is continuing its proud history of standing on the side of justice for people all over the world. All unions should follow the @UAW and call for a #Ceasefire now.

[Brandon Mancilla @mancillabrando]

Our International Executive Board will also be forming a Divestment and Just Transition working group to study the history of Israel and Palestine, our union’s economic ties to the conflict, and explore how we can have a just transition for US workers from war to peace

[Benjamin Dictor @BenjaminDictor]

I could not be prouder for this union. Historic contract fights and unprecedented organizing drives without forgetting what the role of a union is globally in the pursuit of justice for working people everywhere.
