Quote of the Day

“This country was built on the backs of slaves, on land stolen from Indigenous peoples, and most of its inhabitants are descendants of immigrants. We will not be silent as our government discriminates based on religion and national origin – it is unconstitutional and shameful. Refugees are welcome and we should let them in.” — Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline, weighing in on the Muslim-immigration ban, in a statement issued today.
