ALT As state-sanctioned political repression escalates in the United States and Palestine against those condemning and opposing the Zionist state, so must our collective efforts as unionists to stop police arrests and demand that police free them all. Trade unionists and police have historically clashed, and the unionized retail workers, autoworkers, teachers, academic workers, public defenders, and other working-class people who banded together at the Labor for Palestine rally are part of that legacy. The de-arrest at Labor Notes is also similar to New York University faculty linking together to prevent student encampments from mass arrests as well as the successful, collective efforts to free Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, a Palestinian feminist scholar who was first suspended by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, reinstated, and then arrested on April 18 by Israeli occupation forces and subjected to torture.

ALT Labor for Palestine is proud to have been a site of anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, anti-Zionist, abolitionist, and collective liberatory action as witnessed on Friday. We will continue to support those arrested in pursuing any legal or medical support. We condemn the Rosemont Police Department for Friday’s arrests and similarly dispute any framing that the de-arrests were due to anything but the power of the people, specifically rank-and-file union activists.
![Finally, Labor for Palestine again uplifts the PGFTU-Gaza in exposing an international labor movement that “retreat[s] to verbal positions without taking measures on the ground or pressuring the decision-makers to stop this war of extermination, limiting union activities to conferences and statements”. We again uplift the Palestinian trade unions’ call on workers everywhere to stop arming Israel and end all complicity with Israel’s war crimes. Labor for Palestine remains steadfast in our commitment to the power of organized labor, and specifically rank-and-file workers, to actualize these demands for a permanent ceasefire by stopping the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide and a free Palestine, from the river to the sea.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GL8Qw6mWYAAQeNi.jpg?name=orig)
