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.

“My grandmother is actively terrified of unfamiliar people in her home." Santa Clara IHSS provider Hannah Leonard cares for her grandparents, including her grandmother with dementia. Like many family providers, Hannah left her job to join IHSS because she was the best person to provide care.

Care work is essential work.
Care workers are essential workers.

The Caregiver Who Can’t Afford Health Care More than three million people work as home and personal caregivers, but with low wages and changes to tax credits, many of them cannot afford health insurance.

Careworkers, who devote their lives to caring for others, should not be forced to go without care themselves.
We need a care system that values both workers and the people they care for.

On Tuesday, Kings County caregivers kicked off their contract campaign by uniting to public comments at the County’s Board of Supervisors to address the care crisis and the need for a new contract that features livable wages and healthcare. www.seiu2015.org/kings-county-ihss-campai...

Last week, SEIU 2015 launched the #UnRigCalifornia campaign!

✅Support AB 1790 (Connolly) to ensure corporations pay the taxes they owe.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, a Times analysis shows, and even more in some local elections. Wealthy donors are reaping the rewards.

When billionaires flood elections with money, working people are the ones who pay through weaker public services, rigged tax policies, and corporations calling the shots.
Democracy should belong to all of us, not just the rich.

This week, Solano County home care workers and allies stood strong in front of the Board of Supervisors.
