This is what happens when we stand together!

A society that depends on caregivers cannot keep treating them like they do not matter. Care workers must be seen, valued, and paid accordingly.
👏🏼👏🏾👏🏿
Workers speaking 57 languages, standing together on one picket line, is a powerful reminder of what solidarity looks like.
Different stories. Different journeys. One shared belief: the people who do the work should be treated with dignity and respect.
Our country is at its best when no one is above the law, and every branch of government works to protect those who are most vulnerable.
For immigrant families, caregivers, and working communities, those protections matter every day.
This is what solidarity looks like: students showing up for each other, faculty refusing to look away, unions helping build real protection. When communities act together, fear has less room to grow.
When workers organize around how work is changing, that is not a side issue. It is democracy on the job. California should lead by listening to the people who keep the state moving every day.
If care is essential, then caregivers must be respected, protected, and paid like they matter. Because they do.
Airports should be places where people move toward family, work, and home, not places where fear grows in the security line. When everyday travel starts to blur into immigration enforcement, trust breaks down fast.
From the fields to the care economy, immigrant families have always helped build California. They should be able to raise their children without fear.

When teachers are delivering groceries, walking students to class, and protecting families from ICE, that tells you everything about how cruel this moment has become.
Immigrant families deserve safety, not trauma. #ICEOut
“Working people have never been able to win these things without being organized.”
That’s why solidarity matters.
Today, we choose solidarity. That means listening when survivors speak, believing them, and standing with them. Every time. No exceptions. No silence.
ICE raids do not make working families safer.
They spread fear and disrupt workplaces.
Fast food workers are right to demand employers step up, know the law, and protect their people.
We will endure and continue to grow by staying rooted in our collective power and our unshakable belief that a better and more caring world is possible and urgently needed.
SEIU 2015 is a union of care workers and thousands of powerful women. We are building and sustaining a movement grounded in justice, belonging, and safety for all. The labor movement belongs to them, not any one person.
SEIU 2015 stands with all survivors. We see you, believe you and bear witness to your incredible power and bravery. We extend love & deep respect to Dolores Huerta, an extraordinary leader in the labor movement & beyond, who continues to pave the way for others to speak truth and live with dignity.
We care for our communities every day, and in 2026 we’re not stopping. Times will get tough, but we’re tougher. Workers set the standard, and together we lift it higher. ✊🏽
Building on a legacy of resistance, Black labor activists continue to make history today, fighting for fair wages and equity across race and industry.
With civil rights under attack, we stand united to resist erasure and defend our collective power. #BlackHistoryMonth
As of 2024, child care costs more than rent in 49 states, including California. Without care, families can’t afford to work. The care ecosystem NEEDS to be protected. #CareIsEssential
You can’t build a “strong economy” by making care impossible. Slashing healthcare and public services means fewer caregivers, more burnout, and more people left without the support they need at home. We won’t let them break care. #CareIsEssential

So we’re going to do what working people do: we take care of each other. Check on your neighbors. Protect immigrant families. Show up with love and with backbone. And we’re not backing down until ICE is out of our communities. (3/3)
We’ve seen this before. They arrested and injured David Huerta for observing and standing up for immigrant workers, and now Renee Nicole Good was killed in Minneapolis during an ICE operation. (2/3)
ICE raids don’t create safety. They create fear. They make parents scared to go to work, scared to take their kids to school, scared to seek care. (1/3)
Happy New Year & Feliz Año Nuevo.
Proud of SEIU 2015 care workers who stayed united and kept our communities going. In the new year, we keep building power for respect, protection, and fair pay.
Feliz Navidad y Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! To every caregiver, family member, and community leader holding it down for others: thank you for all you do and for the future of care we’re building together.
Workers’ voices are essential to democracy. Silencing them weakens us all!
