Her premium for her and her husband went from $544 → $1,300. So she had to drop their coverage. SEIU member Joyce Rena Bumbray-Graves is now hoping she doesn’t get sick. That’s not healthcare. That’s a gamble. Read more: https://seiu.co/48Ek30d

They’ve got money. We’ve got collective power. Join us: laboris.art #LaborIsArt

This wasn’t about billionaires. It was about the people who actually make everything possible. The ones who sew, build, care, cook, clean, drive, and create. Because culture doesn’t come from boardrooms, it comes from workers. #LaborIsArt. And we are the art.

Billionaire and former WWE executive Linda McMahon might seem like an odd pick to lead the Education Department given her history of worker exploitation, lack of education experience, and overall disdain for public schools—but what she does have is a whole lot of cash

What do a $27 million dollar jet, 47-foot yacht, and the Department of Education have in common? A risk of being crashed by Linda McMahon

After becoming a billionaire by exploiting WWE athletes, Linda McMahon bought her way to the top of the Department of Education. Now she’s trying to turn our public education system into another business she can exploit for profit. classsolidarity.org/audits/linda...

And finally, a record breakingly expensive penthouse to keep it all in. Because for an oligarch like Griffin, those other 9 houses and estates just aren't enough. Remember, the man who owns all these thinks public schools have too much money. www.6sqft.com/billionaire-...

An art collection including a priceless Basquiat. Would said artist disapprove of an oligarch funding the crusade against “woke ideology" and a "misguided ideology of oppressor and oppressed"? Not caring is what being an oligarch is all about. www.artnews.com/art-collecto...

A first edition US Constitution. Anyone can download a PDF, but if you're an Oligarch, there's nothing like owning the full physical copy of the thing you're ignoring. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

An actual stegosaurus skeleton. It's not planet-destroying fossil fuels yet, but give it a few years of oligarchy-powered chaos... www.cnbc.com/2024/07/18/c...

Imagine Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax passes. People like hedge funder Ken Griffin, who fueled the crusade to close 50 Chicago public schools, will be tightening their belts. So if you're looking for a gift to cheer him up, check out what the man defunding our schools already owns🧵

Our tax dollars are funding the suffering in ICE detention centers: overcrowded cells, medical neglect, and trauma. This is a stain on our country. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Baristas are saying it plain: #NoContractNoCoffee SEIU stands shoulder to shoulder with Starbucks workers demanding respect, fair wages, a real contract, and an end to union-busting. Sign the pledge: www.nocontractnocoffee.org#pledge

Y’all shouldn’t be telling people to “get a better job.” Y’all should be telling #GreedyCEOs to not pay poverty wages. ALL jobs should pay the bills.

AT&T was one of the big corporations lobbying to take our money for food and health care through the Big Ugly Bill. Now they are making $$$ off #ICE/CBP/DHS contracts. Help us say, “That Ain’t Right!”: ppls.ac/att Sun 2-3 PM 15 S. Halsted in Chicago #ATTLovesICE #DropTheContractsATT

[Today's incident was an] escalation that endangers all of our children & families. No parent should be afraid to send their child to daycare. No childcare worker should live in fear that they could be next, just for doing their job! ~Greg Kelley @seiuhcii.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/ahjU7LH...

NO KINGS IN CHICAGO. We thank Jaquie Algee of @seiuhcii.bsky.social for sharing these photos from yesterday's massive #NoKings march. Thank you for your leadership, Ms. Algee!!

“The Trump Administration passed the most regressive, big, bad, ugly-ass bill in history.” ~ Hon. IL State Senator Lakesia Collins at @seiulocal73.bsky.social @seiuhcii.bsky.social rally in Chicago. #FamiliesFirst, not billionaires!

BREAKING: Healthcare workers and disability advocates are blocked traffic in front of Trump Tower to protest Medicaid and SNAP cuts. We're calling on state lawmakers to #TaxtheRich to restore these services. #NoCutsNoHoops #HandsOffMedicaid @accessliving.bsky.social

No more ICE Raids, Save Our Medicaid! #Handsoffmedicaid @accessliving.bsky.social

Save our Medicaid! No more raids! @accessliving.bsky.social

@seiu.org members from Local 73, @seiuhcii.bsky.social, @seiulocal1.bsky.social and allies across Illinois kick off our Justice Journey to demand Freedom, Family, and Justice.

Kat Stewart, an @seiuhcii.bsky.social member, knows the power of #Medicaid and how devastating the impending cuts will be on Missouri families. #NoBillionaireBailout #TaxJustice #Missouri

Happy Freedom Day! #Juneteenth marks the day — June 19, 1865 — when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, TX, learned of their freedom. Through our union, we will continue to fight for freedom and justice for all: no matter what we look like, where we come from, or who we love.

DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! seiu.co/endraids #FreeDavidEndRaids

“We are relieved that David is free and reunited with his family and we are deeply grateful to the hundreds of elected officials, civil rights leaders, labor partners and allies from across the nation who stood in solidarity...” @seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett's full statement: seiu.co/3ZYw24f

ICE’s brutal, military-style tactics have no place in our communities. We demand safety. We demand respect. We demand David’s release. #FreeDavidEndRaids

This isn’t just about David. It’s about the right to organize. The right to speak out. The right to be safe. The right to be treated like a human. From this rally in Chicago to actions across the country—we won’t back down. #FreeDavidEndRaids

We at SEIU Healthcare IL IN MO KS join in the widespread outrage that our union brother, David Huerta, was attacked, injured and detained while standing up to the unjust and cruel treatment of members of our communities…

Support our seniors - home care workers are a lifeline for Illinois seniors! Cuts to Medicaid will take away the care seniors depend on for life & health. Cuts will destroy people's jobs! @seiuhcii.bsky.social @seiu.org #Chicago

“We are the workers of Missouri. Know that nobody should have to choose between their health and earning a paycheck. We’re going to have to keep fighting. No matter what color you are: one sound, one demand.” Shunda Whitfield, a CNA/CMT and union steward with @seiuhcii.bsky.social

In Springfield with private home care agency workers asking ‘where’s that raise at?’

We're outside the for-profit ICE detention center where our union sibling Rümeysa Öztürk is being held unjustly, simply for expressing her beliefs. No one should be locked up for exercising their rights. Free Rümeysa and all those unjustly detained! #4the1st

BREAKING: 1,500 grad workers at the University of Rochester are ON STRIKE. They teach, research & run labs but the administration refuses to respect their right to unionize. After months of delays, they’re taking action. We stand with them in the fight for a fair process. #UofRStrike

Today, we uphold his legacy by recommitting ourselves to our fight for the rights and dignity of all workers, to the eradication of poverty-wage work, and to winning justice for all who come here seeking a better future for their families. Que viva Pope Francis

SEIU members were there when Pope Francis visited the White House for the first time in 2015, introducing himself as the son of immigrants.

We're here today because the crisis in the nursing home industry has not ceased. #twill #CareCantWait

🚨BREAKING: Extremist Republicans just passed a budget that puts our nation on a disastrous path of ripping away healthcare for 80 million children, pregnant women, veterans, seniors & people with disabilities—all to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires. This fight isn’t over! seiu.co/43jNPFo

They’re cutting Medicaid

HACC Executive Director Danita Childers is leading the "commitment to prioritize and improve human resources," which is why management addresses low wages with *checks notes* $35 tickets to Six Flags? Read about the fight for a fair contract at HACC: seiu73.org/wp-content/u...

This isn’t about politics—it’s about survival. Medicaid funds home care for aging parents, supports special education services for kids and keeps hospitals running. Protect your family and your community. Tell Congress: Vote “NO” to Medicaid cuts. Call Today: 866-426-2631.
