Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth Shuler went to the
National Mall on Tuesday and honored fasters who haven't eaten in 21 days,
urging House Republicans to hold a vote on citizenship for the nation's 11
million aspiring Americans and to end the deportation crisis. New fasters came
to take their place during a ceremony presided over by faith and religious
leaders. Inspired by the fasters, Shuler also committed to fasting for a
day. The AFL-CIO – and the Metro Washington Council -- support
the activists
participating in the Fast for Families in
Washington.
