Sign this Petition! #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd https://bit.ly/UnionMembers4GeorgeFloyd

We are union members who support calls for #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd.
We are willing to talk to our co-workers about why the… Meer labor movement needs to take a stand against racist police violence of our brothers, sisters, and siblings. We are willing to do what we can to ensure our labor is not used to help the police shut down calls for justice.

Admin note:

This page was created by Minneapolis bus operator and ATU 1005 member Adam Burch after he refused to drive his bus for the Minneapolis Police Department to transport people who were going to be arrested demonstrating for #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd.

The page is intended to be a resource linking labor unions to Black Lives Matter, mobilizing people to upcoming contingents and prompting discussion on how to bring this struggle into our unions.

To keep the page relevant and useful to busy activists we are, with a few exceptions, not approving personal photos or videos without a labor connection, or news items or off-topic debating points or commentary.

Please don’t post links to other pages unless they have a genuine connection to the labor movement, also please no offers of merchandise, or petitions other than the one that launched this page.

The admins on this page are workers and union members, active in the struggle, so please bear with us if your posting isn’t approved immediately.
