Trump is spending over a billion dollars a day on an unauthorized war in Iran. Meanwhile, child care centers are closing, elder care is underfunded, and working families struggle to afford healthcare.

On National Caregivers Day, we recognize the care providers who hold our communities together.

Honoring caregivers means standing with them in the fight for fair wages, strong benefits, safety, and respect. Not just today, but every day.

Today is the State of Healthcare Day of Action.

Healthcare costs are rising. Coverage is at risk.
Trump promised to “protect and cherish Medicaid,” but the results say otherwise.

We demand the Senate act NOW to restore ACA tax credits and lower health care costs. #CareIsEssential

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

Trump is about to rip work permits away from Haitian caregivers who keep our parents and grandparents safe, fed, and alive.
That’s not “border security.” That’s sabotaging care. #CareIsEssential

Today, @seiuva512.bsky.social member and home care worker Rena Bumbray-Graves spoke out and reminded us that #CareIsEssential.

🚨 This didn’t have to happen. Congress let ACA subsidies expire. Premiums more than doubled, millions are dropping coverage & healthcare costs will rise for everyone. Families are paying the price for their failure. Healthcare is not a bargaining chip. #CareIsEssential #JustFixIt

🎉 The House just took a big step in making healthcare affordable again by passing bipartisan legislation to extend ACA premium tax credits! Now it moves to the Senate.

📞 Call your Senator & urge them to vote YES to extend ACA tax credits. Your voice makes a difference! #CareIsEssential #JustFixIt

IHSS providers tell Lake County supervisors pay must cover rising costs Multiple In-Home Supportive Services providers told the Board of Supervisors on Oct. 21 they need a new contract with livable pay to retain caregivers and avoid leaving clients without in-home care.

ake County’s caregivers are holding the line, while barely getting by.
They’re caring for our elders and people with disabilities, yet can’t afford groceries or gas.

Supervisors, it’s simple: raise the rate.

They’re holding our country hostage and workers are done paying the price. #CareIsEssential

How California families are already bracing for looming Medicaid cuts This Orange County family wants the best for a child who has cerebral palsy. Cuts to Medicaid could make it harder to access care.

Elijah is 7. He has cerebral palsy. Medicaid pays for his wheelchair and therapies. SNAP helps his family eat. Now cruel federal cuts are taking that away.

This is wrong. #CareIsEssential

What Donald Trump's Medicaid cuts mean for caregivers Caring for a family member who’s aging or disabled can take a huge toll on caregivers.

More than half of all long-term care funding comes from Medicaid. Cutting it means cutting the care families rely on. Home care and nursing home workers are already stretched thin, we need more investment, not less. #CareIsEssential

What Donald Trump's Medicaid cuts mean for caregivers Caring for a family member who’s aging or disabled can take a huge toll on caregivers.

Trump wants to roll back decades of progress by gutting Medicaid, the single largest source of long-term care funding. That means less care for older adults and people with disabilities, and more impossible choices for caregivers. #CareIsEssential

What Donald Trump's Medicaid cuts mean for caregivers Caring for a family member who’s aging or disabled can take a huge toll on caregivers.

Medicaid is the backbone of long-term care. Trump’s cuts aren’t just numbers on a page, they’re attacks on caregivers, older adults, and people with disabilities who depend on it every day. We won’t stop fighting for fully funded care. #CareIsEssential

Dany Fleurantus is one of hundreds of Florida nursing home workers who is uniting with her peers through @1199seiu.org to fight for a fair contract. It’s time for employers to be fair to those who care. #Unite4Care #careisessential

It’s official! MI Home care workers have won their union, @seiuhcmi.bsky.social! This historic win means a better future where care workers get the respect they deserve and our loved ones can get the care they need. #CareIsEssential

CLASP stands with the workers, parents, and children who deserve a government that functions for them. Congress must act now to reopen the government and put families first. #EndTheShutdown #CareIsEssential #PeopleOverPolitics

The Department of Labor is trying to reverse history. They’re trying to say that home care workers are not deserving of overtime protections or minimum wage… that sets us back into a whole other era. #CareIsEssential
