The last general membership meeting passed and endorsed the formation of the Anti-Racist Mobilization Committee

with a well written resolution !

 Sisters and Brothers, we are bound by oath to oppose racism within our ranks where ever and whenever. Our Constitution states:
'"To unite into one labor organization all workers eligible for membership, regardless of religion, race, creed, color, national origin, age, gender, or sexual orientation."
            We also have a non-negotiable moral duty to extend this oath to our brothers and sisters outside our ranks. Not only is this a moral duty, but also a clear opportunity to strengthen Union ranks and reverse the slow poisoning of our Institution. Racism past and present has driven a wedge between all workers which severely weakens the power of a united front ( the basic fundamental factor in organized labor ) It only serves to benefit those that profit from our labor and consolidate the corrupt power of corporate America. We must grab the opportunity presented to us by the current political climate of heightened racism and put all our institutional support behind the anti-racist movement. Both the labor and anti-racist struggle are inextricably intertwined. None should take priority. We as Union members will reap huge benefits from fighting and finally eradicating racism. I will go so far as to say that our very survival depends on it.
    In light of this urgency, I hereby propose that we form our own Anti-Racist Mobilization committee. A committee that will stand shoulder to shoulder with other Anti-Fascist Committees formed by our brothers and sisters of different  trade unions. We will work to encourage other Unions to adopt the same principles and fight. We will reach out to all those organizations that have taken up this struggle in solidarity,  We will mobilize to support those who are increasingly under attack by racist elements, and we will show by example that Union brothers and sisters have the moral fortitude to not shrink from an oath-bound duty.
