Republicans are threatening to shut down the government to protect billionaire tax breaks—while 22M Americans face health care premiums jumping 75%. We need a budget for working people, not people with private jets. Call 877-851-2521 and tell congress to stop the #MAGAshutdown

Republicans want congress to choose between higher insurance premiums or a government shutdown. Tell Congress ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Call the Save Healthcare Hotline at 877-851-2521

GOOD TROUBLE! SEIU members showed up today because lives are on the line. Rural hospitals, nursing homes, and care for our neighbors are at risk. Rep. Finstad, #mn01 needs a leader who stands with working families—not the MAGA agenda or corporate donors. #SaveMedicaid

Chris Jones is a conservative, union member, and full-time caregiver to his wife in Duluth. He voted for Trump and Stauber — but when they teamed up to gut the life-giving care Medicaid provides, he spoke out.

🚨 Yesterday, Minnesotans rallied at the offices of the 4 Members of Congress who voted YES on the MAGA Budget — slashing Medicaid & SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires. We won’t “get over it.” This is just the beginning. #NotOverIt #UnionStrong #HandsOffMedicaid

Today I joined @seiuhcmnia.bsky.social’s frontline workers on the picket line.

Our healthcare workers take care of us - we've got to take good care of them. That starts by paying them the wages they deserve.
