The Trump Admin’s repeated attacks on offshore wind hurt workers & our local economy. Grateful Patrick Crowley from @riaflcio.bsky.social could join us today to discuss tremendous work union workers are doing to lower energy costs & power our nation forward.
I’m a no on the DHS bill. Congress must step up to protect the rights of all Americans, enact needed safeguards, and ensure accountability. ICE is supposed to enforce the law and protect the public, not abuse your rights and trample on the people they serve.
The executive board of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO unanimously adopted this resolution about the ongoing ICE actions in Minneapolis. We stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and our union siblings in the @mnaflcio.org .
