In the midst of ICE raids and this federal administration terrorizing communities in California, LP Colorado members joined labor unions and immigrants rights organizations yesterday to show solidarity with David Huerta and call on Governor Polis to protect immigrant communities.

Sending the National Guard to intimidate peaceful protesters is wrong. Period. We’ve seen this playbook before, military force used to threaten and silence communities demanding justice. (1/2) kxan.com/news/local/aus…

Opinion: Top leaders in Minneapolis downplayed threats to immigrant communities After last week’s federal raid, residents need answers and accountability. We need a plan to prevent this from becoming the norm. Read my full Op-Ed in the The Minnesota Star Tribune: startribune.com/opinion-top-le…

Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the country, costing working families billions in stolen wages. Under the POWER Act, Philly workers can hold employers accountable for wage theft and get substantial compensation for their losses. whyy.org/articles/kook-…

Our community is under attack, our families are being separated in the most hateful, inhumane ways, and our response should be rooted in collective power and unity. San Antonio is not a war zone. It’s our home, and we will not be bullied into silence.

Devastating to hear the targeted attack and violence by an individual impersonating law enforcement that killed Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark early this morning. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were also shot multiple times and are alive. 1/

Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman served Minnesota with such a lucid sense of morality and diligence. She deserved gratitude, grace, and challenge (as all politicians do). My heart is broken. I have no words. Rep. Hortman deserved more than this. Sending love to her family.

We are horrified at the targeted political assasination of MN elected officials, former Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and the attempt on the lives of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. Our full statement: localprog.org/MourningMeliss…

On such a horrific day, it was heartening to stand with my community on Central Ave and at the State Capitol. We will continue to honor the life & legacy of Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and hope for a fast recovery for Senator Hoffman and Yvette. No fear, no Kings.
