The White House’s eagerness to call in the National Guard—dubious on constitutional grounds—reminds many of us of events from an earlier day: the 1970 National Guard killings at Kent State (and a few days later at Jackson State); we remember too well the damage those did to a divided nation.

We stand with those in custody, including veteran labor leader David Huerta, and we ask all our members to join the peaceful demonstrations planned in communities across America for Saturday June 14, No Kings Day. Everyone needs to say: this is not the America we aspire to be.

What we do in this moment matters. This admin is ratcheting up its assault on immigrant communities—they want to test our tolerance for violence, kidnapping, and unrestrained cruelty.

If we don’t stand together to defend our neighbors and communities, they’ll take our inaction as indifference—or even consent.
