America faces a crisis on three critical fronts: a public health pandemic, an economic free fall and long-standing structural racism.

As America’s labor movement, we must urgently address all three with precision and purpose. They cannot be fixed separately.

This is why we are coming together nationwide as working people on June 17 in a “Workers First Caravan for Racial and Economic Justice”—to demand Congress pass the HEROES Act and address police reforms that are urgently needed.

Statement from Ron Herrera, President of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO and Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 396 on the protests happening across the country.
