The sheer bravery of detained immigrants & employees at #Irwin led to a groundbreaking complaint to the @DHSOIG on Sept. 14, 2020, putting more focus on the horrific ongoing abuse of detained immigrants & staff at #Irwin.
Since the filing of our complaint, dozens of immigrant women have stepped forward describing the
gynecological abuse they too have faced at the hands of @ICEgov and @LaSalleCorr while detained at #Irwin.
As we fight to #AbolishICE & #AbolishPrisons, we continue the call for the immediate release of ALL detained folks at #Irwin & elsewhere, accountability from ICE, LaSalle Corrections, & reparations to folks impacted by the physical & emotional trauma of detention & incarceration.

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.
