The world's public service workers stand with David and all those fighting for justice! SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained in Los Angeles during ICE raids while advocating for immigrant workers. #FreeDavidEndRaids #FreeThemAll @psiglobalunion

If you supply weapons to somebody that is accused of acts of genocide, then you yourself become complicit in those acts as well. Here’s why I am calling for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s role in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

Historic. More than 20 states - including China, Spain and Ireland - will be meeting in Bogotá to agree “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law.” Hopefully this is the end of the road for Zionist impunity.
