NWU is a Sanctuary Union

National Writers Union@nwu.org · 2y ago

ICE raids on immigrant workers & their communities have already begun. While these attacks hit immigrant workers first & hardest, they are aimed at all workers. NWU has joined the growing list of Sanctuary Unions that stand with all workers and communities being targeted now & in the coming months.

Join us to listen to poems from Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Tunisia, and to consider the work of translation, publishing, and community at this time of profound global grief and steadfast solidarity. Register here: tracepress.org/en-us/produc...
