Breaking: Undocumented + excluded workers have shut down the Manhattan + Brooklyn bridges
National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON)
After one year of being excluded from relief - in the middle of a global pandemic- undocumented and excluded workers from across NY state have said enough and have shut down the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges!
Will you help spread the word?For one year, New York lawmakers and Governor Cuomo have told undocumented workers in New York to wait, meanwhile counting on their sweat, their health, and their lives to subsidize our state economy. It's inhumane to go on and ignore the crisis in our communities.
The message is clear. Today we're taking action to say basta, New York state leaders can and must do better. There are no excuses to deny relief to your neighbors, while we work, while we continue to get sick, and many continue to die. Put us in the budget, Gov Cuomo.
Watch the video and photos and help us get the word out today on
Twitter,
Facebook, and if you haven’t already, sign the petition
here.
It’s a beautiful thing to see the powerful coalition of workers organizations taking action today. Here is a
great thread of photos and videos.
