Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal. Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets. This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

The legacy of Rev Jesse Jackson resonates w me. I first met him as a 14yr old: “As a young Central American refugee struggling to find my place, he told me I belonged — that I could change my circumstances and dare to dream.” RIP Rev. 🙏 Read more on ⬇️ www.nj.com/mosaic/2026/...

Other types of gig workers "do need to be organized and pursue protections, just like the Deliveristas did," said #CornellILR's @drcamposmedina.bsky.social, who named home care aides and house cleaners as workers in need of added protections. "Now we have a precedent."

Gig Workers Could See Rights Without Status Change: “Classifying in the right way would actually put more resources into system… so these workers can pull together enough social protections," says Campos-Medina As quoted Law 360. ⬇️ @cornellilr.bsky.social law360.com/employment-aut…?

“Pope Leo XIV's inauguration is a hopeful moment for unions. He may act like a foil to tycoons like Elon Musk …A church that has the moral high ground to call out corporate America to respect workers' rights, that's important.” patriciacamposmedina.com/new-popes-na... #NewPope

“Everyone Who is Gone is Here” by Jonathan Blitzer. This books tells the story of people whose lives are connected across borders, in the US and in Central America. A good reminder that our crisis today, was created a long time ago. #HillmanAwards #LaborRights #Migration

Protesting ICE private detention centers is our first amendment right. I’ve joined protests to shut down ICE facilities in NJ before & today I I condemn ICE’s actions in arresting @rasjbaraka & violently confronting @RepBonnie @RepMenendez & @RepLaMonica #AbolishICE www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/u...

Patricia Campos-Medina (@drcamposmedina.bsky.social), executive director of the Worker Institute at #CornellILR, says the election of Pope Leo XIV is a moment of celebration for Catholics around the world, but specifically for the faithful in the Americas. news.cornell.edu/media-relati...

“He is an American Pope [as the continent],who understands the global dynamics of the church as a leader advancing issues that matter to the working poor. His chosen name, based on Pope Leo XIII, reflects his embrace of ministry of mutual aid.” nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Great job by @AdrianaVargasNY presenting findings of @UniNoticias recent poll on NY & NJ Hispanic voters. Hispanic are remaking electoral map. Yet, 50% feel electoral campaigns are not making adequate efforts to communicate w them in Spanish or in a cultural competent manner. #LatinosVote

The longer negotiations take, the less likely workers will achieve a first deal, as many get discouraged or move on, said @drcamposmedina.bsky.social, director of The Worker Institute at #CornellILR. 1/2 www.kqed.org/news/1203728...

“Delaying getting to a collective bargaining agreement is a strategy by corporations to kill the will of workers to stay as members of the union,” @DrCamposMedina said. “That’s what Starbucks has done, that’s what Amazon.” Read more at ⬇️ www.kqed.org/news/1203728...

Employers have more leverage over employees who are working without authorization and could use it to pay them less or deny them benefits, @drcamposmedina.bsky.social says.

Pope Francis’ words remind us to continue organizing and fighting against economic injustice, and for the rights of all workers. Unions, he said, “have to make noise to give a voice to those who have no voice.” Rest in Peace Dear Pope Francis. 🙏

Patricia Campos-Medina, executive director for The Worker Institute at #CornellILR, explains that if the construction, agriculture, hospitality and retail industries lose workers, “American consumers are going to see higher prices." www.axios.com/2025/04/14/i...
