The Workers Circle

Judaism demands that we resist injustice. ICE is tearing families apart and terrorizing our communities. On February 11, we'll take action in front of ICE headquarters in DC to demand an end to this violent system and show that the American Jewish community stands with our neighbors. #JewsAgainstICE

Love is resistance. This Valentine’s Day, the Workers Circle is standing with #immigrants and rejecting the violence and dehumanization they face every day. Join us in taking action and demanding dignity for all.

Philly district attorney, sheriff double down on warnings to arrest ICE agents Krasner also defended Sheriff Rochelle Bilal, who got national attention last week when she said she would "bring the smoke" against ICE.

People who engage in murder or conspire to commit murder, regardless of whether they are federal agents or private indiv., need to be arrested + prosecuted. Same goes for people who commit other state crimes. This needs to be happening across the country. whyy.org/articles/phi... @fsfp.bsky.social

Man killed in Minneapolis by federal agents identified as VA nurse Alex Pretti: ‘He wanted to help people’ Alex Pretti, 37, worked in the ICU at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System and had assisted on scientific research

We mourn the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. No one should lose their life while exercising their rights or trying to help others. We stand with all who are calling for accountability, dignity, and an end to state violence.

"The violence and fear are everywhere” says Workers Circle CEO Ann Toback, who flew into the federally occupied city of #Minneapolis yesterday. "Minneapolis is a roadmap for our nation. I am overwhelmed and determined. We can overcome this horror if we stand up together." #ICEOut #AbolishICE

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we remember what was lost and what is at stake. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022, #abortion access has been stripped away in states across the country. Reproductive freedom is about dignity, safety, and democracy. The fight for it is happening now.

Workers Circle CEO Ann Toback recently spoke on NY1 about how the organization's commitment to social justice is inspired by Eastern European #Yiddish traditions, language, and culture, and why preserving the Yiddish language matters today.
