The Inter-American Court will be issuing its advisory opinion on July 3. An important moment for the development of human rights in the context of the climate emergency. As an amicus, we are hoping the opinion develops the concept of a just transition for the workers of the Americas.

Screenshot of a press release from AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond: "The nearly 15 million working people of the AFL-CIO and our affiliated unions demand the immediate release of California Federation of Labor Unions Vice President and SEIU California and SEIU-USWW President David Huerta. As the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda has unnecessarily targeted our hard-working immigrant brothers and sisters, David was exercising his constitutional rights and conducting legal observation of ICE activity in his community. He was doing what he has always done, and what we do in unions: putting solidarity into practice and defending our fellow workers. In response, ICE agents violently arrested him, physically injuring David in the process, and are continuing to detain him—a violation of David’s civil liberties and the freedoms this country holds dear. The labor movement stands with David and we will continue to demand justice for our union brother until he is released."

The resolution at the #ILO today on Palestine attaining non-member state observer status is "a powerful act of solidarity and an acknowledgment of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination." #ILC2025
Quote card reading: Today’s resolution shows a rising tide of international support for Palestinian sovereignty — a critical step toward achieving lasting peace.

The ILC’s decision is a powerful act of solidarity and an acknowledgment of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, at a time when Gaza’s entire population faces starvation and Palestinians in the West Bank endure a violent expansion of Israeli settlements.”
