National Day of Action in solidarity with Minneapolis

Union members in Minneapolis–St. Paul recently issued a call to show nationwide solidarity on Jan. 23 after a brutal ICE operation led to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis substitute teacher, and the targeting of students, educators and immigrant communities in and around local schools.

At the Delegate Assembly, an emergency resolution to join a national Day of Action and a demonstration on Friday, Jan. 23 in solidarity with educators, students and immigrant communities in Minneapolis was approved with 90% of the vote.

Now we need to demonstrate our unity — visibly and collectively.
