Liberty and Justice for All Rally
In recent months, the Trump administration’s inhumane policy of detaining and separating families seeking asylum in our country has ripped thousands of immigrant children away from their parents and forced them into cages. On Wednesday, August 15th union members from the private sector, public sector, and building trades held a mass demonstration together with faith and community allies to express our outrage and call on the Trump administration to free the children and put an end to family detention. The largest labor-led demonstration on immigration in the nation, “Labor United to Free the Children” will show the power of a united, mobilized labor movement insisting with one voice on liberty and justice for all. On August 15th, the labor movement went to Philadelphia to take a stand to free the children, return them to their loved ones, and end family detention.
