Organized Labor’s Stake in the Fight for Free Speech and the First Amendment!

OWLS Meeting: Tuesday, August 25, 6:30pm

From Minnesota to Texas, Trump’s wrecking ball is taking aim at workers’ rights to speak out and organize. But when news surfaced about the Department of Justice spying on anti-ICE activists, including several unions in Minneapolis, labor and community groups banded together in mutual solidarity. OWLS reports on DOJ efforts to stifle dissent, and how labor is fighting back.
