On October 18, join us at No Kings events across the country to make it clear to the Trump administration that the power belongs to the people.

In America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos and corruption.

Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day

Latinas are paid just 54 cents, on average, for every $1 non-Hispanic, white men are paid.

This is not just a number, but a lifetime of stolen wages. The pay gap harms Latinas, their families, and our entire country.

Latinas deserve fair pay now!

Earlier this year, the Trump administration revoked the legal immigration statuses of more than 150 IUE-CWA members at GE Appliances, causing the workers’ employment to be terminated without notice. Manufacturing lines were thrown into chaos.

We strongly condemn these cowardly actions by masked agents.
