SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE
Raid in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.
Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:
"SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.
"We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.
"We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."

🚨CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT!! 🚨 We've given some extra attention on this page towards Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership in the last week following the Nature Action Conference hosted by UNEP and Uni of Cam. But we’re not stopping at disrupting just one conference… #SustainableLies
A purple, orance and green swirly background. In the middle, there is a picture of two people holding a banner that says "CISL: Leading in Greenwashing". Their faces are covered with little orcas.

The text at the top of the graphic says "CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT" and below the picture it says "Sustainable Lies? CUT ALL TIES". Below that, there are two logos. One of them is the logo of ORCA, the other is the campaign logo, which also says Sustainable Lies? CUT ALL TIES.Another page using a swirly green, orange and purple background. The ORCA and Sustainable Lies campaign logos are at the top. 

The text says "What is the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)? 

- An institute within the University of Cambridge
- They work with companies including these ones (more on these companies later...) [this point is next to the logos of Coca-Cola, TotalEnergies, AXA, AngloAmerican and BP
- They claim to be working towards a "sustainable future"
