We, the employees of the NLRB, are calling on members of Congress to reject the Senate’s proposed funding deal unless it includes meaningful reforms for ICE and CBP’s operations.

Our Union has never endorsed a government shutdown before. But we believe we have no other choice.

We call on Starbucks board member and Land O Lakes CEO Beth Ford to say the names of our murdered neighbors, to say the names of the agencies who murdered them in broad daylight.

We can’t afford you trying to stay above the fray! Stand with us and say ICE out now!
