HOTEL WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE!
Our campaign for Congress is in solidarity with the workers, who are members of UNITE HERE Local 8!
We're picketing next to Lumen Field, Seattle's venue for the FIFA games! The workers are fighting for a new union contract that includes year-round healthcare coverage, protections from ICE, fair raises, and a return to pre-pandemic staffing levels.
The union will be picketing until 9 pm PT this evening. Join them at 255 S King St if you live in or near Seattle!
What do we want?
Contract.
When do we want it?
NOW!
If we don't get it, shut it down!
Join this fight against the billionaires.
This’s not a military vehicle, this is an ambulance that Israel deliberately targeted in Lebanon.
Israel deliberately targeted 162 ambulances, killing 130+ paramedics and first responders, and injuring 400+ in 100 days, since March 2—an average of 2 killed every day for almost 100 days.
This violates international humanitarian law and a war crime under the Rome Statute, but international law clearly doesn't apply to Israel.
