Today, we are sharing a fundraiser for Wendy Dowe, a fierce advocate & survivor of abuse at Irwin County Detention Center, organized by our partners at @GaDetWatch & @familiesfreedom:
Project South had the honor of supporting @familiesfreedom by visiting & supporting Wendy in 2019 while she was detained at Irwin. Wendy bravely spoken out about the trauma & abuse she suffered while detained by ICE at Irwin.
Please take a few minutes to learn from Wendy below:
The @southernmovt stands in solidarity with the @SWA_solidarity call to Action on February 20th in solidarity with the striking Alabama workers at @amazon.
Between Feb. 8 & March 29, approximately 6,000 @amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama will begin voting by mail on whether to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale Department Store Workers Union (RWDSU). @BAmazonUnion@SWA_solidarity
The harsh working conditions at @amazon warehouses, along with Amazon’s refusal to adopt measures that protect workers from #COVID19, have pushed Amazon and Whole Foods workers everywhere to step up organizing and fighting back.
