ILA/ILWU Work Stoppage for Black Lives The International Longshoremen, one of the largest unions in the United States whose workers control the ports in many cities, is engaging in a work stoppage in support of the Movement for Black Lives. This is huge as race and class have always been tied together and these union members are standing up in recognition of that. Please share far and wide. Solidarity Forever.
Dubbed the “Strike for Black Lives,” thousands of fast food, ride-share, nursing home and airport workers in more than 25 cities are expected to walk off the job for about eight minutes.
A national coalition of labor unions, along with racial and social justice organizations, will stage a mass walkout from work this month, as part of an ongoing reckoning on systemic racism and police brutality in the U.S.
Dubbed the “Strike for Black Lives,” tens of thousands of fast food, ride-share, nursing home and airport workers in more than 25 cities are expected to walk off the job July 20 for about eight minutes — the amount of time prosecutors say a white Minneapolis police officer held his knee on the neck of George Floyd in May — in remembrance of Black men and women who died recently at the hands of police.
TODAYS THE DAY. NATIONAL WALKOUT. STAND UP TO RACISM. Do not go into work today. If you can’t risk walking out. Walkout at noon for 8 minutes and 46 seconds . Demands are in bio.

Today, all over the country, workers are striking for Black lives.
The strikers demands are:
Justice for Black communities.
Elected officials and candidates at every level use their authority to rewrite and reimagine the rules so that Black communities can thrive.
Corporations take immediate action to dismantle racism, white supremacy and economic exploitation wherever it exists, including in our workplaces.
Every worker has the opportunity to form a union, no matter where they work.
Stay up to date on the #StrikeForBlackLives and the fight for racial and economic justice here.
Participated in #strikeforblacklives by walking out of work with two coworkers for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. #bethechange and do it, too.
Organizers said at least 20,000 workers in 160 cities walked off the job, inspired by the racial reckoning that followed the deaths of several Black men and women at the hands of police. Visible support came largely in protests that drew people whose jobs in health care, transportation and construction do not allow them to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
“What the protesters are saying, that if we want to be concerned — and we should be — about police violence and people getting killed by the police ... we have to also be concerned about the people who are dying and being put into lethal situations through economic exploitation all over the country,” said the Rev. William Barber II, co-chairman of the Poor People’s Campaign, one of the organizations that partnered to support the strike.
This is why I love what I do and who I do it with. #strikeforblacklives Posted @withregram @foncostudios We stand against racism. We stand for inclusion. We stand with our fellow black employees, story tellers, creators, and the entire black community. And yesterday we kneeled with them. Yesterday, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, we kneeled in solidarity for #StrikeForBlackLives. We unite in support of dismantling racism and white supremacy to bring about fundamental changes in our society, economy, and workplaces. Black workers everywhere have long been at the forefront of the fight for the rights of workers to earn beyond a living wage and to experience respect and dignity in the workplace. We want to build a country where Black Lives Matter in every aspect of society, including in the workplace. #blacklivesmatter #unitedwestand @fonhdavis @hopelavelle @missdylanjones @oneeyedjedi @thejimmythebartender @toddericvalcourt @Maximumclaire @castlecorsetry @makermuppet @jareddcarlson @smh318 @IgnisGram @elleramsdell @thenoahkinsey @red_dodge @aiman_3d https://www.instagram.com/p/CC81TTDpO0s/?igshid=4i7r7zp8ml4m
Posted @withregram • @mhdcd8 Black and Brown Americans make up a disproportionate percentage of essential workers and continue to bear the brunt of this pandemic. Across the country, our people represent 60% of deaths and only 13.4% of the population. #ICYMI Thousands of essential workers, across over 100 cities participated in the #StrikeforBlackLives. Yesterday, they walked out of their jobs to demand corporations raise wages, provide health care and paid sick leave, and grant employees the right to unionize — part of a larger effort to pressure businesses in industries where Black workers are disproportionately represented to confront systemic racism. Here in Los Angeles, we are increasing the minimum wage and have protections in place to protect workers during the COVID-19 crisis. I will continue to stand with labor and fight for the health and safety of our essential workers. #BlackLivesMatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6xUXPD9i3/?igshid=1lgbq6ui6tipx
