From Union Halls to Communities: The Constitution Protect Us

On this special Constitution Day episode of El Cafecito del Día, we reflect on why the U.S. Constitution matters for all of us, especially immigrant and working communities. The Constitution is a living promise that protects our rights and freedoms, yet today it faces attacks through anti-immigrant policies and even Supreme Court decisions that permit profiling for speaking Spanish. We discuss with Cheryl Nero, consulting for the Task Force for American Democracy, why knowing the Constitution is vital, how it empowers us to defend democracy, and what unions, allies, and communities can do to ensure everyone understands this document and exercises their rights.
