As we honor Indigenous Peoples Day, we acknowledge that the work we do every day is on the unceded lands of the First Peoples of Washington (to learn about the tribes, languages, and treaties of this land, please visit native-land.ca).
As a union, we work to support the liberation of all our siblings, including our Indigenous family that bears a history of repression as long as there has been colonization in the US. We hope to continue to support Indigenous voices through our work towards liberation and equity in the labor movement.
