BREAKING: United Auto Workers today passed a resolution at its convention, 321-287, to divest from Israeli bonds.

The vote received support from a range of sectors, including a large number of Michigan auto delegates, in addition to legal services and higher education.

The original call for divestment came from a wildcat strike of 2,000 mainly Arab American workers at Chrysler’s Dodge Main in 1973. Amid the genocide in Gaza, pro-Palestinian labor groups and UAW locals renewed and intensified their campaign.

Speakers motivated for the resolution by citing the union’s legacy of divesting from South African apartheid in 1978.

That's a big "but" you got there, Mister Politician 🙃

How about we end all the wars and bring the troops home!

With opposition like this who needs the republicans?

People are losing their rights and their lives.

This week, 15 legal observers and activists in Minnesota were arrested. Whether or not you agree with every action they took, the fact remains that people are facing criminal charges for challenging and documenting government power. The stakes are no longer theoretical.

The officials who write the laws, appoint judges, fund agencies, and set priorities are chosen by voters. In just 8 weeks, Minnesota's primary will help determine who appears on the ballot this November. If you care about civil liberties, immigration policy, due process, or government accountability, now is the time to get involved.

Verify your voter registration today. Don't assume it's current.

It's never too late to opt back in. Whatever the reason someone stepped back, we're glad to have them back when they're ready. Stronger together!

Happy Birthday to one of the most prolific artists of our lifetime: Tupac Shakur, who would have been 55 today. Tupac was more than an artist and actor; he was an activist. His mother, Afeni Shakur, formerly a Black Panther, instilled in him the importance of fighting against systemic oppression, challenging unjust authority, and advocating for our people.

On this day 14 years ago, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, better known as DACA, was announced as a new program to protect undocumented youth who came to the U.S. as children from deportation.

President Trump is threatening this vital program, endangering thousands of people who have called this country home for years.
