Today we commemorate the #Februaristaking of 1941.

85 years ago, 300,000 workers in the Netherlands stopped work to protest the persecution of Jewish people under Nazi occupation.

A collective act of courage. A stand for humanity. 🧵👇

Today is bigger than just Chicago, though.

While baristas are on ULP strike in 100+ US cities, allies across the world are participating in a Global Day of Action to show solidarity with our fight.

We're unified and saying "NO CONTRACT? NO COFFEE!" ✊🔥

Rula Hardal & May Pundak are leaders w/A Land for All — a Palestinian/Israeli initiative grounded in shared human values & lived reality.

As we close out 5785, they joined us today to cry out against the destruction of Gaza, and to imagine, despite everything, a shared future.

We're outside the for-profit ICE detention center where our union sibling Rümeysa Öztürk is being held unjustly, simply for expressing her beliefs. No one should be locked up for exercising their rights. Free Rümeysa and all those unjustly detained! #4the1st

SEIU’s Verrett: RFK Jr. would put lives at risk as HHS Secretary Working people call upon Senators to demand qualified candidates to lead critical American institutions

RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary? A conspiracy theorist with no respect for science or public health has no place overseeing Medicare, Medicaid, or the CDC. SEIU healthcare workers fight everyday to save lives—we won’t stand silent as lives are put AT RISK.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
