From Cell to Cell, Jailed Minnesota Unionists Sang of Freedom | Labor Notes

Yesterday the federal government arrested and indicted 15 people, many of them union activists, on conspiracy charges over the protests and massive strike against ICE in Minnesota last winter. Two of those indicted had just returned from the Labor Notes Conference, where Emmett Doyle’s prize-winning song “Hold the Line” was also sung (see box). The Minnesota 15 include union carpenters, electricians, teachers, university staff, and nursing home workers. Donate here to support their legal defense. —Editors.
