Pray for Justice #bliefnicktrial
The People
Quincy, IL, United States
MAY 26, 2023 —
We feel compelled to make a statement at this time that our entire community is ardently awaiting justice for Rebecca Bliefnick. As it is a matter involving a woman victim of prolonged domestic abuse which was reported and dismissed, as it clearly involves Robert Adrian (although not as factfinder) and Schnack Law (defending the alleged perpetrator of violence), as it is occurring in the same geographic location at a very similar point in time … it feels to us relevant to formally communicate with this audience that our hearts have broken and our grief is strong. If you pray, then pray for the truth to be upheld. If you have the time and heart for it, please lift up this story that the whole world may know what a beautiful soul was stolen from us.

Heritage Month … Asian-Pacific American
May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month.
The month-long observance was officially designated in 1992 and the month of May was chosen to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants to the U.S. on May 7, 1843 and to recognize the Chinese immigrants who helped lay tracks for the transcontinental railroad, which was completed on May 10, 1869.

Tell Trader Joe’s: Stop union-busting!
Sign the Petition!
Crew members at four Trader Joe’s stores have now voted to unionize, with more on the way.
But Trader Joe’s, which cultivates a progressive brand, has rolled out intense union-busting campaigns at every store that’s filed for a union election, and refuses to bargain in good faith with its workers.
This movement is not going away. Trader Joe’s crew members have watched the company culture change from one that values its workers with good pay, benefits, and atmosphere to a company with increasing turnover, declining benefits, and stagnating wages.
Instead of supporting workers’ right to organize, Trader Joe’s has doubled down on union-busting — using the same tactics as companies like Amazon and Starbucks.
Trader Joe’s United needs your help to force Trader Joe’s to stop union busting and live up to the company’s own “number one core value” — integrity.
Can you sign our urgent petition telling Trader Joe’s you support the union
Like workers at Starbucks who recently won their first union elections, workers at Trader Joe’s are joining a new surge of union organizing.
Trader Joe’s United has now won elections to represent workers at four Trader Joe’s stores, located in Oakland, Louisville, Minneapolis, and Hadley, Massachusetts. Yet, contrary to their progressive, worker-friendly image, Trader Joe’s has responded in Starbucks-like fashion, by aggressively cracking down on organizing and stonewalling in contract negotiations with the new union reps.
On March 1, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found Trader Joe’s had illegally suspended and fired a worker at a Houston store who raised concerns about workplace policies. The company was required to reinstate the worker and award back pay.
