AFT Vermont Members Participate in ICE OUT protests

Last week, in the wake of the murder of Union member and nurse Alex Pretti, the murder of Renee Good, and the increase in ICE activity nationally, thousands of Vermonters took to the streets in protest. Among them, AFT Vermont Union members stood loud and proud.

On Wednesday, UVMMC SSU Member, asylum seeker, and Pastor Steven Tendo was detained by ICE outside of his workplace in Shelburne. We stand without hesitation or fear in solidarity with Steven. We hope to see him returned to his home soon.
