The Campaign Workers Guild (CWG) is anti-imperialist, anti-fascist, anti-apartheid, and anti-colonialism, in all its forms. We believe that no innocent person anywhere should die due to decisions and actions of their governments, and we mourn for all losses of civilian life: Israeli, Palestinian, and others. We believe that the safety of Israelis and Palestinians are not mutually exclusive, but rather, fundamentally must be achieved together. We condemn Hamas’s attack on civilians on October 7th. We condemn Israel’s continued, indiscriminate assault on Gaza. We support calls from Israeli families for a full prisoner-hostage exchange–everyone for everyone. We recognize that these recent escalations are part of a nearly century-old conflict rooted in settler-colonialism that has and is resulting in ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. We stand and take action in solidarity with unionists from around the globe, and at this moment are following the leadership of Palestinian unionists.

Statement - In Response to the Murder of George Floyd
We are furious and deeply saddened by the murder of George Floyd by four Minneapolis police officers. His murder is profoundly tragic, yet not unique; it builds on 400 years of state-sanctioned violence and police brutality against our Black brothers, sisters, and siblings, including the recent murders of both Breonna Taylor and Tony McDade.
