Workers have the power to enact an arms embargo for Palestine.

There are weapons, military equipment, and dangerous explosives being exported to Israel out of JFK airport and Port Elizabeth in New Jersey. These materials are directly being used to execute the Palestinian genocide, and we need to tell the Port Authority of NY/ NJ that its facilitation of these exports is unacceptable.

Our virtual workers' circle events are focused on digging deeper on strategy and solutions for a city-wide labor movement for an Arms Embargo. We'll be mapping out this trajectory together, and we will finish the call with concrete action items.

The Labor for an Arms Embargo campaign, locally called Break the Chain, is hosting a labor organizer training series for members of unions in the NY/ NJ area interested in organizing their workplace for Palestine. We will be joined by members of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee who will facilitate the discussion and provide workers with the skills and knowledge to talk to their coworkers about Palestine.

Over the course of these trainings, workers will be guided through the process of building their organizing committee, having organizing conversations, and eventually passing anti-war resolutions in their unions. Join us to learn more!

This is a virtual workers' circle being facilitated between trainings. The next training is here.
