With much grief we mourn the passing of Hector Pelayo-Martinez. He was detained in NWDC for several years and was a fierce advocate for himself and those he was detained with. He continued fighting for those detained after his release. In January of this year he reported being sexually assaulted by Geo “medical” staff. Upon his release he was still being monitored with an ankle bracelet. @laresistencianw learned of his passing on April 20th.
Hector Pelayo joins the altar outside of NWDC alongside José Manuel Sanchez-Castro, Charles Leo Daniel, Cipriano Ríos Alegría and Amar Mergansana.
May they never be forgotten. Shut down NWDC NOW!!!

Yesterday, on Día de las Madres, SEIU6 members went to the Northwest Detention Center to support all the mothers who have been cruelly separated from their families. While most people celebrated this special day with their families, we must not forget the people detained in these inhumane prisons. La Resistencia and our sister locals are committed to fight until these prisons are shut down!
Slide 1: “on this very special day, we are here to support all the mothers in this detention center. We hope you will soon be reunited with your families. Keep your faith and hope alive, for your strength is greater than any obstacle” -Sofia, SEIU6 members went.

SEIU6 members came out strong for May Day. We stand in solidarity with workers and movements that are fighting the billionaire class. Our movements are connected by common threads: our power from solidarity, diversity, and care for each other. The ruling class wants to destroy our power and erase our victories but we will not let them! Today we march, tomorrow we win! #MoreThanMayDay #SeattleMayDay #immigrantrights #deiceflights

Today at 12pm, airport workers showed up to the Port Commissioners meeting to share how they feel about the repressive behavior they faced on April 1. In their testimonies, they called once again for Port Commissioners to act and pass a policy that mandates quality healthcare for all airport workers. SeaTac is the last major airport in the West Coast to not have quality healthcare for all workers and SEIU6 members have endured for far too long now. @uhlocal8 members also gave public comments and stood in solidarity. Pictured giving public comment: Kalkidan Mulat and Mohamed Osman. #healthcareforall #airportworkersunited
Hitting the streets of San Francisco to support security officers who are fighting for better protections. Under paid and in harm’s way - yes on SB 1203!
