Vigil for RN killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis

Federal immigration actions are rapidly expanding, with deadly consequences. The killings of poet Renee Nicole Good and nurse Alex Pretti by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis have brought intense focus on the use of excessive force. An AFT webinar, co-hosted by AFT President Randi Weingarten and AFT Massachusetts President Jessica Tang on Jan. 28, featured experts on immigration and the law. It highlighted AFT resources and showcased how our locals are showing up to minimize fear and trauma.

Appointed to finish term ending June 30

Please see the 2026 call for nominations (officer and delegate) and proposed constitutional amendments, due Monday, Feb. 2, at 4 p.m.
