Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE.

They cleaned up ground zero. Now many are hiding from ICE
After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

Reflecting Pool Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for Damage

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Abortion bans make exceptions for ectopic pregnancies, but some people still don’t get care.
One doctor told a woman intervening in her pregnancy could land him jail time, according to a lawsuit. “I felt like my life was a risk he couldn’t afford.”

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.
