AFL-CIO Must Act — Stop Genocide in Gaza, Defend Workers’ Rights https://secure.ngpvan.com/FormProgress/FygyRgBN1EKc_S_Ab1kehg2?formShortCode=
Every 15 hours, the United States ships another load of weapons to Israel. Everyday, Israel kills Palestinians with these weapons, and with the occupation and blockade they are used to sustain.
For 24 months, U.S.-funded violence has devastated the people of Gaza, especially its workers — teachers, nurses, journalists, first responders.
Workers have the power to end this genocide by ending the flow of weapons that sustain it.
We call on the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), and the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) to:
- Recognize Israel’s campaign in Gaza as genocide under international law.
- Condemn the abduction and assault of Chris Smalls aboard the Gaza aid flotilla and demand an independent international investigation.
- Affirm that attacks on workers anywhere are attacks on all workers.
- Recognize Israel as an apartheid state, consistent with Amnesty, HRW, the UN, and B’Tselem.
- Take direct action: Refuse to ship weapons, cut ties with war profiteers, and mobilize union power to end genocide.
