Our affiliates wanted to honor so many members for Women's History Month, and so we continue to bring you the stories of these amazing women throughout the month. Here are four women making history in New Jersey.

Working people across the United States have stepped up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our regular Service + Solidarity Spotlight series, we'll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.

In response to the violent invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military, the global labor movement has taken unprecedented action to provide solidarity and aid to the people of Ukraine. The AFL-CIO, among many other unions around the world, has issued a statement condemning the invasion, and state federations and central labor councils have begun to issue similar resolutions. Unions, including AFSCME and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), have passed resolutions calling for the divestment of pension fund investments with ties to Russia.

Members of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and Educational Support Professionals (MFT), AFT-NEA Local 59, are continuing their strike against Minneapolis Public Schools. Their fight for safe and stable schools in Minnesota’s largest city is an inspiration to all of us in the labor movement, and many union members and community allies have been standing shoulder to shoulder with Minneapolis educators on the picket lines.
