Monday, August 11 - Defend EPA Workers 8/12 / Teach in: Campaign to Close the Broadview ICE Facility 8/17 / End Taxpayer Funding for Atrocities in Gaza
Partner Action: Defend EPA Workers TOMORROW
Yesterday, the Trump EPA announced they will unilaterally shut down the EPA workers' union and their contract.
This isn't the first time they've tried to bust this union and take away workers' rights. And just like every time before, the EPA workers and their allies will fight them every step of the way.
👉 Please come stand in solidarity with the AFGE Local 704 TOMORROW at noon as they rise up and fight back at Federal Plaza.

ICA Action: End Taxpayer Funding for Atrocities in Gaza
As the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza deepens by the hour, we are outraged by the mass death, destruction and unbearable suffering inflicted on Palestinian civilians by the Netanyahu government.
We are all witnesses to a moral and legal crisis of historic proportions. The relentless bombing campaigns, the starvation and siege conditions, and systematic targeting of Gazan civilians —crimes that leading human rights experts have named for what they are: genocide—must be met with global condemnation and immediate action.
Silence is complicity. Our values, our humanity and our conscience compel us to speak out with clarity and urgency.
We reiterate our calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and the unimpeded flow of food, medicine, and aid to the people of Gaza. We unconditionally condemn the horrific terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the brutal killing of Israeli civilians and the abduction of hostages. We continue to call for the safe release of all hostages and remain outraged by the violence directed at civilians and the rise of hatred directed in this country at the Muslim and Jewish communities.
We further demand an end to the United States' complicity in perpetuating this atrocity. American-made weapons, funded by our tax dollars, are fueling the escalating death toll of innocent civilians. The United States must immediately halt all military aid, arms shipments, and similar support for the Israeli government's army.
