Social Justice Committee

“As an explicitly feminist, antiracist union, we know the fight for workers rights is inseparable from the fight against authoritarianism, economic exploitation, imperialism, and all forms of oppression. We know that no one is free until we are all free.”

PROVIDENCE FOR PALESTINE

Working alongside other groups in Providence, we submitted phase 1 of our ballot initiative to get the city of Providence to cease investing in any company or country supporting apartheid, occupation, and genocide.

DEPORTATION DEFENSE NETWORK

Thanks to the brilliant work of community organizers, Providence has a robust deportation defense network that our local has been integrated into. Sign up here to get involved or request a training!
