Action Alert‼️ www.ueunion.org/political-ac...

Extremely honored to have run this piece last week from the national leaders of @ueunion.org. Carl Rosen and Mark Meinster's last public act as they hand over the reins was to stand up for Palestine. Principled leaders who know that struggle is a long game. inthesetimes.com/article/gaza...
