Labor in the streets for Black Lives Matter protests
Labor in the streets for Black Lives Matter protests
Labor supported the Black Lives Matter protests last Friday –Juneteenth 2020 – by providing food, including free pizza and hotdogs, and marching on the White House. Unions participating included ATU Local 689, IBEW 26, the Painters, Iron Workers, Mine Workers and the Union Veterans Council.
On Tuesday, reports NNU’s Stephen Frum, Washington DC VA, Medstar Washington Hospital Center, and Children’s National Medical Center nurses, families, and workers represented by NNU, AFGE, and SEIU 722 rallied against racism outside of the hospitals. More than 70 chanted, marched, “and made a ruckus,” Frum tells Union City. “NNU nurse leaders Stephanie Sims (MWHC) and Elaine Sherman (DCVA) gave inspiring speeches to the crowd in the same spot we have gathered during our strikes and pickets.”

Celebrating Juneteenth by thinking of all the things we need for true liberation. And what we don’t need.
Not symbolic gestures.
Not empty proposals.
Let us never forget how our elected officials called the National Guard in to join the police in arresting, harassing and tear gassing protesters. People fighting for their right to be free.
We need real, lasting, transformative, systemic change.
Some thoughts about what liberation could look like from a leader in Milwaukee:
– ending white supremacist terror over Black lives
– ending capitalist exploitation of labor
– ending misogynoir
– ending the marginalization of queer and trans folks from our public and personal health care systems
