Partners for Dignity & Rights

Like so many of you, we’ve been watching in horror and outrage as ICE has descended on communities around the U.S., terrorizing working people and their families. Over the last few months, ICE’s forces have repeatedly focused on the city of Minneapolis, where our long-time partner Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en Lucha (CTUL) organizes. CTUL’s base of low-wage workers concentrated in the restaurant and construction industries have been the repeated targets of ICE’s indiscriminate violence. 

Partners for Dignity and Rights has collaborated with CTUL for many years, building policy solutions and worker-driven campaigns to protect workers’ human rights and end workplace harassment. But much of that work is on hold right now as organizers must focus on defending their community from workplace raids. The attacks on the community are indiscriminate, with people getting picked up and detained regardless of their immigration paperwork.

This week, all eyes are on Minneapolis as an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good bringing global attention to the violence and terror the community has been experiencing. 

Throughout this escalation, construction workers continue to have to report to work, even as ICE agents are known to target building sites. is asking that the property developers who control those building sites take action to secure their worksites and protect the workers they depend on. 

Can you take a minute to send an email in support of the workers of Minneapolis?
