AFT Pres. @rweingarten.bsky.social asks: What’s so radical about wanting a living wage? What’s so radical about wanting a decent retirement? “We want a better life for everyone! Not just the tech bros and billionaires, we want it for the housekeepers, the bus drivers, & the steelworkers!”

TPS holders are our co-workers, union siblings and vital members of our communities. Ending this essential protection is a gut-punch for the hundreds of thousands of Haitians who rely on it and for our communities across the country.
washingtonpost.com
TPS for Haitians officially ends, putting thousands out of work and in limbo
A federal judge allowed the Trump administration to terminate temporary protected status for 350,000 Haitians, meaning they are likely to lose their jobs and be at risk of deportation.
