The IDC denounces the widespread campaign of contempt for human life being waged by US law enforcements against Black, Latino, and other working-class minorities. The IDC calls upon: Killer cops to be arrested and relieved of their badge; Employers to call off their police dogs; Affiliates to organize when a union member or community organizer is murdered by US law enforcement. Further, the IDC will calls upon all labor to demonstrate to employers and governments that all lives matter only when black lives matter.
