SEIU Launches $100,000 Ad Campaign & Holds 18 Rallies to Release Immigrant Activist (Payday Report, 2025-04-03)

"This week, SEIU launched a major six-figure ad campaign to demand the release of a Turkish national, Tufts University Ph.D. student Rumeysa Ozturk, a member of SEIU 509, who had been involved in Palestinian protests

"Such a large ad buy by a union to protest the detention by #ICE of one union member is unprecedented. Not only did #SEIU buy the ads, but they organized 18 protests nationwide demanding her release."

"As immigrants are illegally deported and detained, more and more unions are stepping up to protest these detentions."
