Stand up for NYC's immigrant communities and smallest businesses by telling the NYC Council to pass the Street Vendor Reform package before the end of the year! #VendorPower
November 28, 2025 at 10:29 PM
The #StreetVendorReform package also includes: #Intro431 to lift decades-old, needlessly restrictive caps on permits, #Intro408 to form a division in the Dept. of Small Business Services to support vendors, and #Intro24 to amend the code on where vendors are permitted to work.

In September, @streetvendorproj.bsky.social celebrated the passage (despite Adams' veto) of #Intro47, which repeals criminal liability for street vendors — critical at a time where police and ICE are colluding to attack immigrant communities. But there's more needed for #StreetVendorReform!

Historically, U.S. labor (or its leaders) has supported Israel, lobbying Truman to recognize it as a state in the 1940s and donating union funds to Israel and settlements. But true working class values will never align with imperialism, colonialism, and genocide. Go to the #LinkInBio to learn more

For Thanksgiving and #InternationalFoodWorkersWeek, we're uplifting the Palestinian General Federal Trade Unions' ongoing calls for the U.S. labor movement to take real action to stop U.S. support for Israel: www.workersinpalestine.org/the-calls-la...

✊🪧 New Seasons Labor Union has been bargaining for their first contract for 3+ YEARS. Now members have authorized a strike if the company doesn't come to the table with an acceptable offer by Dec 4. Tell New Seasons "No Contract, No Customers" by signing the pledge: nslu.org/community-sign-up

For months, farmworker groups have called on the NY Farm Bureau to defend the immigrant workers that make their businesses run. But they continue to stand by while ICE attacks communities across the state. We need your voice in this fight ESPECIALLY if you live in NY: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

One more CRITICAL rapid response network to add to the list! @migrantjustice.bsky.social has a Vermont hotline at 802-881-7229, and through public campaigns they've won the release and prevented the deportation of dozens of community members this year. Support at migrantjustice.net
November 25, 2025 at 6:49 PM
For Day 2 of #InternationalFoodWorkersWeek, support these networks or make a gift to the FCWA Immigration Rapid Response Fund, making small grants to impacted individuals in our member networks, as well as organizing work like KYR trainings: givebutter.com/FCWARapidRes...
November 25, 2025 at 4:22 PM
FCWA members are working on Rapid Response networks like WCCNY & the Syracuse Immigrant Refugee Defense Network (SIRDN), and PVWC & the LUCE Immigration Justice Network of MA. They're providing ICE hotlines, connections to resources & more. #LinksInBio🔗

With BILLIONS in new funding for ICE & CBP, thousands of new "agents" being hired, and 1,100+ new agreements with local police, the deportation machine is growing. While local govts struggle to respond, immigrant communities are defending themselves. #InternationalFoodWorkersWeek

Don't let lawmakers replace one exploitable category of immigrant workers with another! Stand with ALL workers and oppose bills like the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, the DIGNIDAD Act, and the Bracero Program 2.0 Act. More on the blog: foodchainworkers.org/2025/11/oppo...

Amidst the new push for H-2A expansion, conditions have gotten even worse. Last month, Trump lowered the prevailing national H-2A wage AND allowed employers to deduct "rent" from workers' wages! 😤
November 24, 2025 at 5:55 PM
🧵Several new bills propose expanding the H-2A program — no surprise when farms are losing workers to ICE's racist deportation agenda. But H-2A is an exploitative program, and expanding it is not good for ANY workers. #InternationalFoodWorkersWeek
