Brothers, Sisters, Siblings:

Workers at the International Rescue Committee in Abilene made history last week when they announced their intention to unionize with the Office & Professional Employees International Union.

Now, they need our help. Sign the petition to tell IRC management to voluntarily recognize their union!

Demand for the critical services IRC workers provide has never been higher. As our state continues attacking both workers’ rights and migrants, it has never been more important for humanitarian workers in Texas to have solid ground to stand on.

IRC workers have called on management to avoid a lengthy and wasteful election process by granting voluntary recognition.

The deadline for management to respond to their request for voluntary recognition is Wednesday, July 31, at 5 PM CT, and we are asking community members, allies, and friends of IRC workers to email IRC Abilene and headquarters' management to demand voluntary recognition.

Stand in solidarity with IRC workers and urge IRC management to uphold its stated values and do the right thing!

In solidarity,
