Stop the raids & defend the Constitution! The caregivers of 1199SEIU are appalled by ICE’s mistreatment of NJ’s elected leaders— including Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Rep. Rob Menendez, and Mayor Ras Baraka who was arrested—outside an immigrant detention facility on Friday 5/9.
A text graphic with a purple background, with a photo of people detained behind a fence as the background image. At the bottom is an illustration from Dignidad Rebelde (dignidadrebelde.com). The illustration showcases three Police ICE officers detaining a person into a van. Text on the graphic reads, “Stop the raids & defend the Constitution! The caregivers of 1199SEIU are appalled by ICE’s mistreatment of NJ’s elected leaders— including Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Rep. Rob Menendez, and Mayor Ras Baraka who was arrested—outside an immigrant detention facility on Friday. We applaud these leaders for standing up for the constitutional rights of all New Jerseyans and exercising their legal oversight power to protect the rights and dignity of their constituents. The constitutional rights of New Jerseyans and all Americans are at stake, and we must not allow the Trump administration to trample on our most basic freedoms by arresting, detaining, and deporting people without due process.” At the bottom-left corner is a light grey 1199SEIU logo.

Thank you New Jersey Senator, Andy Kim, for joining our Clara Maass Medical Center nurses to advocate for a #FairContractNow. NJ patients deserve the best quality healthcare possible and Clara Maass RNs deserve more than what’s been offered to them in their contract negotiations by CMMC management.
