Four months ago, SEIU United Service Workers West president David Huerta was arrested while peacefully engaging in protected 1st Amendment activity at an ICE raid in LA. Now he faces unjust charges. Speaking out is NOT a crime.

We stand with David & will fight until every family is safe. #EndRaids
