Pamela,
Earlier this week, The Labor Force announced that July 1 was our Stand Up to ICE: Know Your Rights Day of Action.
Now, we can announce that SEIU, the ACLU, and the NAACP are bringing members from across the country to "detention alley" in Louisiana as part of the Justice Journey bus tour. Our Day of Action will coincide with these events to maximize the national impact.
Look for an event near you, or create your own! We'll provide everything you need to make it a success!
Like Civil Rights and Labor activists before us, workers will join together across race, faith, and immigration backgrounds to stand in solidarity. We will board buses in all corners of the country and converge in the South, arriving in Louisiana's "detention alley," which has purposely become an epicenter for the Trump administration's detention of immigrants and where some of our detained union siblings have been held.
At the same time, workers across the country will show our solidarity by heading to our local Home Depot. The chain has become a high-profile target for immigration raids after being called out by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. At Home Depot, workers will leaflet with Know Your Rights information detailing what rights we all have if we are detained and what rights we all have if we see someone else detained.
Together, we are demanding:
an end to the brutal ICE raids terrorizing our neighborhoods and tearing families apart.
the Trump administration releases people from unjust detention.
our elected officials vote NO on the massive budget package, which pumps billions of dollars into the ICE terror machine, slashes taxes for billionaires, and rips healthcare away from millions—harming working people in the process.
Find an event near your here! Or if you're thinking about holding an event but want to ask some questions, sign up here to talk to an organizer with The Labor Force.
We have a full toolkit here.
In solidarity,
The Labor Force
