A justice-centered labor movement doesn’t look away; it shows up. For survivors of sexual assault. For a better future. We honor them. We stand with them.

No king has ever fallen because one person got angry. They fall when all of us say together: No kings. Not here. Not today. Not ever. Because when we fight, we win! #NoKingsDay

When hospitals cut corners on safety & job security, experienced providers leave — and vulnerable patients lose continuity of care. UI Health must invest in its APPs NOW.

A Black person wearing purple SEIU clothes, including a t-shirt, raises a fist in a sunny outdoor setting. A text overlay says, “Black Labor Black Pride.”

Black Labor. Black Pride. This nation and our movement was built on the backs of Black workers who challenged exploitation and injustice.

We won’t back down. Not today, not tomorrow, or any day. We will continue the fight for justice and equity. #BlackHistoryMonth
