Wherever violence, fear & hatred thrive, working people cannot. We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & delivery of life-saving supplies to the people of Gaza. This call for peace is rooted in the pain that SEIU members are feeling, from the Jewish

Dear politicians/political influencers: When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work. Don’t just quote him. Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

I am a proud daughter of the @UAW. It was an honor to stand alongside President @ShawnFainUAW and other union leaders calling for a ceasefire now. I wish my dad was alive to see his union demand peace and justice for all.

One of the most powerful labor leaders in the country is heeding Palestinian unions’ plea for solidarity and calling for a desperately needed ceasefire. What’s your union’s excuse?

We are devastated by the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza—blocked by a solitary veto from the United States. “By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.” https://t.co/lB9OjwKOwz

On December 8, the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The US vote is a vote against humanity.

With the end of the temporary truce, the need for a ceasefire in Gaza is growing. We join our partner organizations like @eduint, along with Jewish and Muslim leaders across the globe in the urgent call for an end to the violence.
@eduint fully and continuously condemns all acts of gender-related violence against women & girls, whether the heinous acts perpetrated by Hamas or the indiscriminate bombings of whole neighborhoods in Gaza. We support calls for investigations, demand the release of hostages and

This is what *real* union leadership looks like. The @UAW—which represents 400,000 workers across the country—has called for a ceasefire. This is huge. Bless you @ShawnFainUAW
I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe..

I am incredibly proud to work with a union that is continuing its proud history of standing on the side of justice for people all over the world. All unions should follow the @UAW and call for a #Ceasefire now.
From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe. That is why I am proud that the UAW International is today officially calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine.

Our International Executive Board will also be forming a Divestment and Just Transition working group to study the history of Israel and Palestine, our union’s economic ties to the conflict, and explore how we can have a just transition for US workers from war to peace
