“Nuestros representantes tienen que hacer más… Me hace sentir frustrada y me da tristeza de que estemos trabajando y pagando los impuestos y que nos miren como criminales.” Marisol, Workers Defense member #MayDay

Minor infractions for many residents in Dallas mean deportation. With #SB4 and racial profiling necessary to enforce this law, families will be separated. The work to prevent that needs to start now. We can't rely on a Republican-stacked SCOTUS. #MayDay

This morning, Workers Defense and Texas Organizing Project are testifying at the Dallas City Council meeting to urge them to vote YES today on the resolution introduced by CM Adam R. Bazaldua condemning SB4. This law is the most extreme anti-immigrant law we’ve seen yet

So thankful for our partners at Workers Defense Action Fund for coming out to support our proposed resolution condemning #SB4! 💪🏽

This law would give police permission to racially profile our community and arrest anyone that they suspect is a non-citizen. It is unconstitutional, unenforceable, and will do irreparable damage to families.

HUGE: U.S. Department of Labor & President Biden are proposing a new federal heat rule to give American workers the right to rest, shade, & water! One year ago, Greg Abbott tried to ban local protections for rest breaks. Now, we’re going to deliver protections for all Texans and all Americans on the job.

Extreme heat is the leading weather-related killer in our country. I'm fighting to protect our workers and those at risk of heat-related illness, and I'm glad President Biden has joined me in this crucial battle. Read my statement below. ⬇️

We are strong, but sometimes nature is stronger! We Houstonians need to fight for better infrastructure and stronger power grids. If you were affected by Hurricane Beryl, we urge you to join us today: form.smartsuite.com/syfwu895/2RA47… Organized Power in Numbers NEW Houston @gcalfio

JUST IN: 14 state attorney generals urge FEMA to recognize extreme heat & wildfire smoke events as eligible for major disaster declarations. With every new heat record, millions of workers and at-risk communities suffer. FEMA must act to save lives! azag.gov/press-release/…

On the heels of a landmark OSHA_DOL rule to protect workers from extreme heat, we urge FEMA to step up its game & ensure all communities receive the help they need - at home and at work. FEMA must treat extreme heat and wildfire smoke as major disasters. nytimes.com/2024/07/02/cli…

Texans are #WorthMore and deserve the freedom to go to work without worrying about making it back home safe and sound. We demand that Austin ISD enforce the life-saving worker protections they promised!

We commend the #ATXCityCouncil for being a leader in the fight against racist policies like SB4 & for taking action to ensure families are kept together. Following in Dallas' footprints, we hope this sets a precedent for other TX cities! #SiSePuede
