She paid into Medicare for years. Trump's immigration policy will end her coverage A provision in the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will make Rosa María Carranza and an estimated 100,000 other lawfully present immigrant seniors ineligible. Her once secure retirement is in question.

This country was happy to take immigrant workers’ labor AND their Medicare contributions.
Now, when it’s time for them to retire, suddenly they want to cut them off?
That’s not just unfair. It’s exploitative. https://seiu.co/4mkRWsB

Illinois State University workers are on strike.
Because when workers aren’t heard, they organize.
And when they organize, they fight for what they are owed – together! https://seiu.co/41YK4Ds

Through our unions, we're a collective force negotiating for
MONEY, POWER & RESPECT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, ORGANIZE.

32BJ SEIU building workers plan strike vote before April contract deadline Negotiations between 32BJ SEIU and the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations (RAB) have grown tense.

The real estate industry is booming.

But the workers who keep buildings running are being asked to pay more for healthcare and to accept cuts to the benefits they’ve earned. That’s not right.

Stand with the 34,000 32BJ SEIU members fighting for money, power and respect! https://seiu.co/4vFqXfF

Black maternal mortality is already a national crisis. Proposed Medicaid cuts would make it catastrophically worse for women of color. We cannot let this happen. #MedicaidAwarenessMonth #HealthEquity

If your voice doesn’t count at work, that’s disrespect. It's also bad for business.
Joining together in unions is how we change that.

Congratulations to the University of Michigan for winning the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and doing it without flying athletes on ICE Air! True champions with strong values on and off the court.

Slashing Medicaid doesn’t happen in isolation.

First, hospitals cut staff.
Then maternity care disappears.
Then mental health services go.
Emergency rooms get overwhelmed.
Families have to travel farther just to get care.

This is what’s at stake.

Oracle lays off 30,000 workers…
then turns around and offers a new CFO a pay package worth nearly $30 million.
But somehow paying workers a living wage is “too expensive”?
Have you no shame.

“Taking care of others is my calling. Kings County home care provider Susan Jaramillo is someone who has devoted her life to serving and helping others. Susan started off…

“Taking care of others is my calling.”
Care workers show up every day with compassion, skill, and dedication supporting families and communities in ways that often go unseen.
That work is essential. It deserves respect, protection, and fair pay.

💪 Yesterday, over 250 SEIU 509 members showed up #unionstrong for Lobby Day! We shared our stories with state legislators, advocated for the issues that impact our communities, & made our presence known. Our fight for better working and living conditions for all MA families continues!

Today we recognize the wage gap between Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander women as compared with white non-Hispanic men.

AANHPI women earn about 83¢ to a $1. This average hides deeper inequities across our communities.

It's time we break down economic barriers. #AANHPIEqualPay

Doggett, Schakowsky Introduce Brand New “Safe Staffing Saves Lives Act” Washington, D.C.— Today, Reps. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Ranking Member of the House Ways & Means Health Subcommittee, and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Co-Founder & Co-Chair of the House Democratic Caucus Task Force on Aging and Families, filed brand new legislation to establish comprehensive mandatory minimum nurse staffing standards in nursing homes.

We don’t accept a system where profit comes before people.

The Safe Staffing Saves Lives Act is how we change that with accountability and real consequences for cutting corners.

Pass it. Protect workers. Protect families.

40% of children in America get their health insurance through Medicaid. These aren't 'government dependents.' They're kids who need checkups, vaccinations, and care. Fight back. #ProtectMedicaid

Justice isn't gifted. It's organized. Pass it on.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. has money for everything except its own people.

Wars? Trips to the moon? Ballroom? Done.
Healthcare? Childcare? Food? We ain’t got it…

ICE raids rattle Washington farmers who backed Trump's immigration promises Farmers in Whatcom County say ICE is deporting valued workers despite Trump's pledge to target only dangerous criminals, threatening the fall harvest.

"As far as I can tell from what comes out of Trump's mouth, they're not supposed to be taking innocent people — good, hardworking, innocent people that we need. . . I've been knocked on my butt, I'll admit it. I'm really disappointed."

Medicaid covers nearly 1 in 2 births in America. Cutting it doesn't just strip coverage — it makes pregnancy a health risk for millions of women. #ProtectMedicaid #MedicaidAwarenessMonth

The 'Black recession' is here: Trump's tariffs gutted Black workers and Black-owned businesses According to data from Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Black Americans have suffered the most under Trump's tariffs program.

A “golden age” was promised.

Instead, a ‘Black recession’ is what we got. Many Black workers are facing higher unemployment and fewer pathways to stability.

Policies that raise costs and weaken equity protections don’t build economies—they deepen inequality. https://seiu.co/47O2gmV

She helped the authorities deport her abuser. Then they deported her back to him. Immigrants in her situation “were given a promise that they would be protected as long as they were vulnerable.”

Carmen reported her abusive husband. She was deported.

Paulo helped police prosecute the man who raped his daughter. He was since detained.

When we deport and detain people who help bring violent criminals to justice, we make our communities less safe.

Say it with us:

Money, power and respect is what you need in life.
Money, power and respect, you'll be eatin' right.
Money, power and respect, you can sleep at night.

Care workers are doing everything they can, but the system isn’t: low pay, understaffing, and impossible workloads.

The Safe Staffing Saves Lives Act protects workers with enforceable standards.

Dignity for workers. Dignity in care. Get it passed.✊🏽

US House, Senate on recess amid push to get them back to work on funding plan Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Speaker Mike Johnson needs to bring them back into session to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

House Republicans went on recess instead of passing a Senate-approved DHS funding bill that would have funded TSA without additional money for ICE and CBP.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is right! House Republicans need to come back, do their jobs, and fund DHS.

An economy that works for everyone starts with workers having power.

Unions for all is how we get there.

Trump says government should stop funding Medicare, daycare to focus on war "We can’t take care of day care. We’re a big country. ... We’re fighting wars," President Donald Trump said Wednesday.

They’re saying we “can’t afford” childcare.
Can’t afford Medicare.
But somehow there’s always money for war.
Make it make sense.

California judge issues injunction blocking feds from freezing $10 billion in child care funding A judge in New York also previously halted the cuts the president ordered for the Democratic-led states of New York, California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota.

VICTORY🚨 A federal judge just blocked the government from cutting off $10 billion in child care and housing funding.

That means relief for providers.
Stability for families.
Protection for essential care.
This is what fighting back looks like. https://seiu.co/4v5CjsS
