A Pride pin? A union button? That’s what Starbucks thinks is “too much”? When you fear a union button, you fear worker power.

🚨 BREAKING: Over 11,000 workers in Fairfax just won their union. Y'all, this is what worker power looks like: organizing, fighting, and winning. Let's make all of Virginia unionized 💪🏿 #UnionsForAll

“This is happening now, in my country: they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers.” 🗣️ Bruce Springsteen, on Donald Trump.

Rent or chemo. Life-saving meds or the basics. Caregivers who speak ASL. Medicaid is the safety net—and it’s holding us all. These #HealthcareHorrorStories are real. Read them. Share them. Then fight like hell.👇🏿

Let’s be clear: When Trump guts TPS, he’s not just coming for immigrants—he’s coming for workers. For families. For our economy. These attacks are designed to divide us while billionaires rake it in. www.epi.org/blog/trump-a...

Medicaid cuts kill.

Just got home from another hospital stay. Today I have to set up home health care between our house and her group home. Her meds alone cost 40-45k per MONTH before insurance.Between that and her routine care, we’d be bankrupt in months without Medicaid. #HealthCareHorrorStories

Gutting Medicaid isn’t “fiscal responsibility”—it’s cruelty. Millions of working people rely on it for care. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Let’s be clear: Cutting Medicaid means cutting care. Fewer nursing home staff. Don’t evict grandma. httpwww.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/05/12/medicaid-cu...

The FDA is falling behind on posting food safety warnings because Trump gutted the staff responsible for them. This is a direct threat to our health. www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-stalls...

Medicaid is how our elders get care, how kids with disabilities get to learn, and how hospitals keep their doors open. Cutting it? That’s cutting us.

Remember when Trump said he was “Too rich to be bought”? Mhmmmm.

Student debt is holding women back. We’re the majority of borrowers, and we carry the heaviest burden—especially Black and brown women. Now the Trump administration is ending protections and reinstating penalties - the system isn’t broken, it’s rigged. 19thnews.org/2025/04/wome...

Medicaid means: 🩺 Life-saving cancer treatment 💉 Care for kids with disabilities 🏥 A home nurse for your mom Trump wants to rip it all away—and lie about it. Not on our watch.

BIG NEWS: Rümeysa, @seiu509.bsky.social member, has finally been released from ICE custody. While we celebrate her release today, we remain vigilant to keep fighting for everyone else unjustly detained! #4the1st

Public service has been a pathway to stability for Black women—until now. Mass federal layoffs are gutting our communities and erasing decades of progress. This is not reform. It’s punishment. And we won’t stand for it. https:msmagazine.com/2025/04/21/government-layoffs...

The ultra wealthy made a trillion dollars while working families live off food stamps. It’s time to close this gap. htwww.wsj.com/economy/1-trillion-richest-fa...

Hands off our schools Hands off our unions Hands off our Constitution Hands off our healthcare

A newborn. A mother. This administration is putting families in danger—again. Detaining a Guatemalan mother just days after giving birth to a U.S. citizen child is inhumane and un-American. We won’t stay silent. httpwww.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/newborn-us-citiz...

Cliona is right where she should be—in the arms of her family, community, and headed back to her son.

Corporations get richer while airport workers are paid poverty wages. A new report exposes how airlines profit while workers can’t even afford basics. We won’t be silenced, & we won’t stop fighting until working people are respected. #PovertyDoesntFly seiu.co/flightpath

From care workers to classroom aides, we’re demanding for dignity, not scraps. May Day was a warning: we won’t let them divide us while they cash in. apnews.com/article/may-...

Working folks have been left behind while billionaires hoard wealth. It’s not just unfair—it’s unsustainable. We need leaders who fight for us, not Wall Street.

We rise up against the Trump administration's relentless attacks on workers and immigrants. This is not just policy—it's a war on working people. But we are united, resilient, and ready to fight back. #WorkerPower #WeMakeAmericaWork www.npr.org/2025/04/30/n...

Beth's story is a powerful reminder: slashing healthcare isn't just numbers on a spreadsheet—it’s lives on the line. Cutting Medicaid isn't fiscal responsibility. It's a direct attack on our most vulnerable. capitalandmain.com/a-mothers-ba...

“Direct relationship” doesn't mean much if management won’t hear you out. When we organize, we make them listen. ✊🏾

The things Trump will do instead of taxing billionaires… defund scientific research, gut education systems, fire air traffic controllers… Y’all.

Quick summary of Trump’s first 100 days: 👉🏿 Mass layoffs 👉🏿 Attacking workers’ rights 👉🏿 Tanking the economy 👉🏿 Deporting & jailing people with no due process

@seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett, said it best: “We’re bringing the fight to the billionaires and politicians who are trying to divide us with fear and lies. We know the truth — an attack on immigrant workers is an attack on all workers…” #WeMakeAmericaWork #MayDay

Economic justice IS racial justice. Racial justice IS healthcare justice. Healthcare justice IS labor justice. Labor justice IS economic justice. It’s all intertwined.

You want to see what makes billionaires nervous? Look at a union meeting. Look at a picket line. Look at every worker saying: “Enough is enough.” That’s power.

🚨 Workers with @seiu721.bsky.social 21 are ON STRIKE 🚨 Why? Because LA County has 22,000 vacant jobs and refuses to fill them—leaving frontline workers overwhelmed and services stretched thin. This isn’t just about pay—it’s about respect, safety, and the future of public service.

Every worker, every race, every place—deserves the right to join a union and fight for fair wages, healthcare, and benefits. We're building that future, one workplace at a time.

If millionaires would leave to avoid taxes, they’re admitting they were never invested in our country in the first place.

Now imagine this ✨we provided healthcare for all✨

Black women are 3.3x as likely to die during pregnancy in states with abortion bans. Let that sink in. 19thnews.org/2025/04/abor...

Your beginning of the week reminder that your job, your neighbors job, your mom’s job, EVERYONE’s job, should pay a fair wage.

Alexis Herman was a leader — a trailblazer who opened doors for Black women, for workers, and for justice. Her legacy is a call to all of us: organize, rise up, and never back down. Rest in power, Sister Alexis.

The Trump administration wants to send immigrants and Americans to foreign prisons without trial. Now they've arrested a judge in Wisconsin. The threats to our freedoms are growing every day. This is a "levees have been breached" moment for our democracy.

We stand with @seiu721.bsky.social in demanding that LA County respect the workers who serve our most vulnerable. Over 55,000 employees are prepared to strike - It's time for the county to do right by its essential workforce ✊🏿 abc7.com/post/55000-l...

ICE reportedly detained more than a dozen day laborers outside a Pomona Home Depot. These individuals were simply seeking work to support their families. This is not justice. It's a targeted attack on our communities. www.latimes.com/california/s...

The CDC just gutted the team that tracks car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injuries, etc. These aren’t just numbers—they’re our children, our elders, our communities. Guess what. Cutting this work means 👏🏿we 👏🏿won’t 👏🏿know 👏🏿what’s 👏🏿killing 👏🏿us👏🏿.

Public sector jobs have been lifelines for Black communities. The recent federal rollbacks jeopardize not only employment but the services that support millions. We can't afford to go backward. www.epi.org/blog/trump-a...
