Gov. Kotek tried to destroy preschool for all on behalf of the rich and was defeated handily by parents, teachers, unions, and socialist electeds. Now she’s retreating by announcing some vague panel to study the issue. The working class is strong when we fight together for what we deserve. 💪

Deep Jesse lore. My dad worked on the 84 & 88 Jackson campaigns. My mother’s Lutheran, my father’s Jewish. As a favor Reverend Jackson baptized me at my mom’s church. Reverend Jackson is my namesake. Picture of the post game with me in my dad’s arms as Rev Jackson kisses my grandmother.

1. ICE must leave Minnesota now.
2. The officer who killed Renee Good must be held legally accountable.
3. No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget and ICE should be investigated for human and Constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.
4. We call upon Minnesota and National Companies to become 4th Amendment businesses, cease economic relations with ICE and refuse ICE entry or using their property for staging grounds.
LOCAL 7901CWA 7901 has endorsed the January 31st Portland event: Labor Says ICE Out! We'll join our siblings in the Oregon labor movement to stand together against ICE terror.
Oregon has seen terror recently with the shooting of two community members and we must act to prevent further bloodshed in our streets from unaccountable federal goons.
