Rank-and-file union members 💪💪 have been fighting for resolutions in their chapters to put an end 🛑 to the g*n*c*de of the P@lestinian 🇵🇸 people, but these efforts are either not finding support or are being outright blocked 👎 by union leadership. That is why right now, there’s an urgent ‼️ petition for AFL-CIO leadership to meet the following demands:
1️⃣ Recognize Isr@el’s campaign in G@za as g*n*c*de under international law.
2️⃣Condemn the abduction and assault of Chris Smalls aboard the G@za aid flotilla and demand an independent international investigation.
3️⃣ Affirm that attacks on workers anywhere are attacks on all workers.
4️⃣ Recognize Isr@el as an apartheid state, consistent with determinations made by Amnesty International, the Human Rights Watch, the UN, and B’Tselem – Isr@eli Information Center for Human Rights in the 0ccupied Terr1tories.
5️⃣ Take direct action: Refuse to ship w*apons, cut ties with w*r profiteers, and mobilize union power to end g*n*c*de.
On October 24th at 12PM, we’re delivering this petition to AFL-CIO HQ in D.C., 815 Black Lives Matter Plaza, as part of a national day of action. We’d love for you to join us if you can.
