We are deeply troubled by the ongoing attacks and siege on the Palestinian people, as well as attacks on people supporting Palestinian liberation, all enabled by our government and tax dollars. As the largest public sector union in Southern California, our labor keeps our society running. We have the opportunity and responsibility to leverage our collective power and push for an end to the genocide in Palestine. Our fellow union workers in Palestine are calling upon us as organized workers to support their struggle against genocide and apartheid - we heed their call, and ask our union to adopt the following: Join the growing call from unions across the world to stop the genocide of Palestinians. Call for an end to the siege on Gaza and the provision of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Pressure President Biden to end military assistance to Israel. Publicly declare support for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement. Commit to not retaliating against staff or members who support Palestinian liberation. Read on for the full letter to SEIU 721 leadership. Then... ✍️ SIGN ON TO JOIN FELLOW SEIU 721 MEMBERS IN CALLING ON OUR LEADERSHIP TO LISTEN TO WORKERS & STAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.
