The tragic Key Bridge collapse last month was yet another reminder that we need immigration reform that PROTECTS IMMIGRANT WORKERS.

We implore President Biden & Congress to expand work permit authorizations and protect immigrants from exploitation.

Immigrants make MA a better place to live, work, and raise a family! Our Foreign-born neighbors have supported MA's economy and cultural fabric in more ways than we can count.

It's time to stand up and have the #CourageToWelcome these critical members of our communities.

TOMORROW IS MAY DAY ⚡️✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼 Join CLVU at the May 1st Coalition International Workers Day March -- we will meet in East Boston, march to Chelsea & end in Everett! Workers unite for dignity at work for all workers, climate justice, housing justice and #CeasefireNow ! ⬇️ #MaPoli
