- This week, countless union members across our affiliated unions and around the nation truly embodied the word “solidarity.”
- When SEIU California President David Huerta was unlawfully arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents a week ago for exercising his constitutional rights, the labor movement mobilized, took to the streets and made clear that we wouldn’t stop until he was free.
- The Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda has been terrorizing our immigrant brothers, sisters and siblings. Since Inauguration Day, multiple union members who were legally residing in this country have been abducted by ICE. Our hardworking neighbors who are simply trying to provide for their families have been robbed of their due process while their loved ones are left fearing for their safety.
- The stories of workers like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Maximo Londonio, Lewelyn “Auntie Lynn” Dixonand Rümeysa Öztürk are absolutely harrowing. It’s blatantly clear that this is a politically motivated effort to scare and divide working people so Trump can hand over more tax breaks to billionaires and weaken our power.
- But our movement refuses to be divided or defeated—we are fighting back harder than ever. When we say, “An injury to one is an injury to all,” we mean it.
