authorities “are aware of the threats
by groups who are contributors to
acts of domestic terrorism.’’
Matthew Chandler, spokesman for
the Department of Homeland Securi-
ty, declined to say if the agency
specifically tracked hate rock groups
but said it’s focused “on preventing
violence that is motivated by extreme ideo-
logical beliefs.’’
Levin said it can be difficult for law

We honor the many
accomplishments of
African Americans.
It is our primary goal as a
labor union to better the
lives of all people working
in the building trades
through advocacy, civil
demonstration, and the
long-held belief that work-
ers deserve a "family
wage" - fair pay for an
honest day's work.
A family wage, and the
benefits that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also
allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive,
and more responsive to their citizens' needs.
Our family wage agenda reflects our commitment to people
working in the building trades, and to workers everywhere. In
this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve
the American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear
regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or reli-
gious beliefs.
