The labor movement has long engaged in the fight to improve the conditions its members as well as on broader social issues: the fight for civil rights, health and safety laws, minimum wage laws and so on. While unions fight for health and safety of their members on the job, should this include worker safety in their neighborhoods? What role should labor play in the fight for greater accountability of the police forces? Please join us for presentations and discussions of this important topic.

The Rasmea Defense Committee contends that Judge Gershwin Drain did not allow for a full and fair trial, and believes that is why Rasmea was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison and deportation. We are confident that she has solid arguments on appeal, and wrote in late July that the “defense argues conclusively that the government ‘never really addresses the basic constitutional deprivations asserted in Ms. Odeh’s opening appellate brief,’ and that Rasmea is ‘entitled to present her complete defense to the jury,’ which can only happen in a new trial.” …read more and sign up to Stand with Rasmea and fill the appeals courthouse in Cincinnati!
