6. Standing in Solidarity with Our Immigrant Community
Our work does not stop at labor rights—it extends to defending the most vulnerable among us. We are committed to solidarity with the immigrant community and fighting back against oppressive policies. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are distributing a palm card from the "Mass Deportation Fight-Back Toolkit for Union Activists and Organizers" provided by the AFL-CIO. This resource is vital in empowering us to support and advocate for those who are most marginalized during these critical times. Let us remain vigilant and dedicated to providing resources and fighting for the rights of every member of our community.
