.@bradlander.bsky.social was arrested for standing up for immigrant NYers. He's showing us what true leadership looks like when our members face these same types of horrifying interactions with ICE every day.

We demand that he be released and that ICE stop terrorizing our communities.

Remember a few weeks ago when @SBWorkersUnited filed 21 new stores on ONE DAY? One of those was in Park Slope and they're holding a pre-election rally to show management they will not be intimidated by union busting.

Pls show up to stand with unionizing workers in Brooklyn!
