Members of the UAW, including a contingent from NWU, brought the message of international solidarity to the NYC Labor Parade. Our banners read, “No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA!” and “Solidarity Has No Borders, No Ban – No Wall!” As we marched up 5th Ave., we stopped at Trump Tower and held a rally against the author of the racist Muslim ban and the jailer of thousands of refugees at the US/Mexico border.
On Labor Day 2017, we marched after the racist Nazi-riot in Charlottesville, where Heather Heyer was murdered and dozens were injured. This year we marched after the racist mass murder in El Paso, TX by yet another emboldened white supremacist, inspired directly from the White House. In 2020, we’ll be coming for Trump!
