Following the events which led to the killing of Alex Pretti by Federal Agents in Minnesota on Saturday, AAUP President Todd Wolfson released a statement calling for collective effort by the US labor movement.

“This moment demands a united, bold, and powerful response from the labor movement. We are uniting across sectors to organize, mobilize, and wield our full collective power to confront ICE,” Wolfson wrote.

Likewise, AFT New Jersey reaffirmed their commitment and support for those in Minnesota and across the country in their efforts for education, action, and resistance.

Just as AAUP and AFTNJ have supported FAMCO over the years, so too does FAMCO support the efforts of AAUP and AFTNJ in this moment. Click here to read the full response from Wolfson and here for the full release from AFTNJ.
