They can fire federal workers, gut Medicaid, and hand tax cuts to billionaires… but they can’t break our movement. We’ve had tough battles before. This is temporary. Workers always rise. #UnionsForAll

Every night, Audrey cleans the Smithsonian so it’s ready for the public by morning.
Now, because of Trump’s shutdown, she’s wondering how to feed her kids.
Workers like her keep this country running, but the Trump admin is treating them like they don’t matter.

🚨The government is still shut down.
🚨Trump’s administration is still trying to take our health care.
🚨Workers are still being used as political pawns.

Y’all, workers are TIRED of this status quo. It’s time to stand up, organize, and fight back.

The Trump admin wants to RAISE healthcare prices with a stagnant federal minimum wage?

Americans are literally sick and tired of high bills and low pay.

Millions of Americans are left to pay the price while Republicans play political games. The game pieces are our healthcare and our lives.

Dark days don’t scare us. They prepare us. Thank you @crockett.house.gov for reminding us, the systems that were built to break us are crumbling, and it’s our chance to build something new.

After a decade of relentless organizing, gig drivers in CA just made history. With #AB1340 signed into law, drivers now have the RIGHT to form a union, bargain with Uber & Lyft, and win real power on the job. This is what worker-led change looks like. #Unions4All #CAgigunion

During a government shutdown, federally contracted workers do not receive back pay. Thousands of security officers, office cleaners, and food service workers are falling behind on bills because of this MAGA nonsense.

The Trump Administration is threatening to fire thousands of federal workers. Thousands of Americans left without jobs. WORKERS ARE NOT YOUR PAWNS.

For months, working people have been making phone calls, sending emails and knocking on doors to tell Congress to keep their hands off our healthcare. Instead of listening, the Republican Party has continued its agenda to make the rich richer.

In case POTUS forgot… we don’t have kings in America! The MAGA regime & its enablers are going to extremes to empower & enrich themselves, while cutting jobs & services for the rest of us.

On Oct 18, join with working people to fight back & build power: seiu.co/OCT18 ✊🏾

Let’s be clear: a shutdown is a choice. Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. The government shut down, because they chose billionaire tax breaks over affordable healthcare for 22 million Americans.

Every shutdown shows us the same truth, when politicians fail, it’s workers who carry the burden.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than stop your health premiums from going up 75%. They are holding our country hostage.

Elected officials must come to an agreement that puts working people first. Raising health care costs to fund tax breaks for billionaires is unacceptable.

If you make $50K a year, it would take 20,000 years to hit your first billion.
Billionaires don’t exist because of “hard work.” They exist because of our work.

Y’all, we are closing out #CBCALC2025 and I could not be more proud. SEIU and our labor family showed up strong all week—building community, lifting up our power, and reminding everyone that this movement isn’t slowing down.

The Phoenix Awards Dinner is a powerful reminder of what it means to truly honor Black excellence. I am proud to be in the room, connecting with leaders, sharing conversations, and lifting up the vision of my members and working people across America as we fight for Unions for All.

Radical imagination is what allowed people to fight for freedom, even when they could not see it, and for workers to fight for their rights, even when they did not know what a union was. This moment calls us to dare to imagine a world where everyone is valued and recognized without question. #ALC54

Hey fam, it’s Day 5 of #CBCWeek2025 🙌🏾 I pulled up to The Collective PAC Brunch and the National Partnership, Demos, and IWPR convening. The message was loud and clear: we build power at every level, and every race shapes our future.
