The ILWU International Executive Board passed the following Statement of Policy at last week's meeting in Vancouver, BC:

ILWU Statement of Policy: ILWU Denounces Recent Attacks on Voting Rights

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) strongly condemns recent attacks on voting rights in the United States. One of the core principles of American democracy is the ability to cast your vote in a fair election. This core principle is increasingly under attack. District maps are being redrawn, disenfranchising communities of color in the process. Proposed “voter ID” laws and restrictions on mail-in voting could limit, or even eliminate, citizens’ access to vote. And threats of intimidation at polling locations make voting far riskier for some communities than it should be. The Union is deeply concerned about any legislation, policy, or action that makes it harder for citizens to participate in our democracy. The ILWU stands against voter suppression and urges Congress to protect the right to vote for all citizens.
