Happy New Year & Feliz Año Nuevo. Proud of SEIU 2015 care workers who stayed united and kept our communities going. In the new year, we keep building power for respect, protection, and fair pay.

Feliz Navidad y Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! To every caregiver, family member, and community leader holding it down for others: thank you for all you do and for the future of care we’re building together.

Workers’ voices are essential to democracy. Silencing them weakens us all!

This season reminds us to honor the people who show us care and love. I’m grateful for the workers who lift up our communities every single day. Wishing you rest and joy with the people who matter most this Thanksgiving.

Today is the day! Vote #YesOnProp50, because equal representation and equal justice are the promises of our democracy. Let’s protect the voice and choice of working people across California. See you at the polls!

Our union knows the truth: when caregivers vote, we win. Prop 50 is about dignity and making sure our voices count. Join me in pledging to vote YES. #YESonProp50 seiu2015.org/prop-50-pled...

The government is still shut down. When leaders fail, it’s the workers who carry the burden. We need leaders who lower costs, protect care, and put families, not billionaires, first.

Immigrant workers keep our communities running. SEIU 2015 stands with you. Know your rights: go to our site → Resources → “Know Your Immigration Rights.”

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 the1a.org/segments/wha...

The fastest-growing job in America through 2033? Home health & personal care aides (+296,700 jobs). Care work is the backbone of our economy, yet it’s still undervalued and underpaid. The future of work is home care. Let’s respect it. #PutCareFirst www.desertsun.com/story/news/n...

When caregivers raise our voices, California listens. Prop 50 is about making sure our voices count. Take the Caregiver’s Pledge and commit to vote YES: www.seiu2015.org/prop-50-pled...

A healthy 65-year-old couple retiring this year will need $388,000 in savings for health care. That’s not a typo. It’s proof our system is broken and why we must protect and expand Medicare & Medicaid. #CareIsEssential www.planadviser.com/senior-coupl...

From the halls of Sacramento to the streets of San Francisco, Senator John Burton’s compass never wavered: fight for workers, stand with the poor, defend disabled communities. He believed in our power to change California, and he never backed down. His legacy is justice. His fight is ours to finish.

Recording ICE raids isn’t a crime. Arresting those who do it is. This administration’s assault on people of color threatens the American Dream itself.

Republicans’ Medicaid cuts will impact real people like Natascha, a homecare worker here in California who works full-time as her 22-year-old autistic daughter’s caregiver.

With California’s older population increasing, the Republicans’ Medicaid cuts threaten not only providers like Natascha but the entire care system. Our leaders should be investing in caregiving, not defunding it. www.almanacnews.com/news/2025/07...

More Americans are starting to see what we at @SEIU2015 have known all along: Trump’s immigration policies are cruel and inhumane. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Results from a recent survey of @SEIU2015 members showed that 69% of homecare workers in L.A. County report struggling to pay their rent or mortgage. County leaders should be ashamed that their constituents who provide lifesaving care are struggling to get by. #PutCareFirst

Thanks to the GOP’s new budget bill, Planned Parenthood clinics across the country can no longer accept Medicaid—effectively gutting reproductive rights and health access for millions of people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This week, check out @npr.org's latest article, featuring myself and SEIU 2015 members Robert Oronia and Aurora who spoke on America’s broken immigration system and how all of this is impacting the Future of Care. Read and listen here 📷📷: www.npr.org/2025/08/13/n...

Immigrant care workers are already stretched thin and living off low wages—and now, ICE raids have many of them too scared to go to work, putting patients at risk. usatoday.com/story/money/...

So proud to see @SEIU2015 members across the state gather to fight against the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. #UnionStrong abc7.com/post/protest...

“70% of the workers are gone.” When fear of ICE raids keeps workers away, essential services collapse. #ImmigrantsAreEssential www.reuters.com/business/imm...

@SEIUPres is right. Immigrants are the backbone of our caregiving industry, and Trump’s immigration policies are making an already bad situation way worse.

Caregivers make it possible for people to live with dignity. So why are so many of them forced to live without it? No one doing essential work should live in poverty. #PutCareFirst

87% of Los Angeles Home Care workers juggle multiple jobs—64% rely on public assistance—and some face homelessness each month. LA County must stop balancing its budget on the backbone of its care system. #PutCareFirst

ICE raids are disrupting care, harming families, and leaving workplaces empty. We shouldn’t be criminalizing care workers—we should be protecting them. www.npr.org/2025/07/10/n...

Medicaid cuts = fewer hospitals, more medical debt, and millions without care. This isn’t reform—it’s destruction. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Healthcare isn't a perk. It's not a bonus. It's not up for debate. Healthcare is a human right.

Hear directly from caregivers across California as they share stories of triumph, struggle, resilience, and hope on @SEIU2015’s podcast “Who Cares”. who-cares-seiu2015.podbean.com/

Studies show that more than 90% of working-age Medicaid enrollees work or are looking for work, have a disability, go to school, or care for a family member and are unable to work. #HandsOffMedicaid kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Investing in care is investing in a better future for ALL people. #PutCareFirst

Every single person. No matter their job. Deserves a living wage.

“If there are not folks here to take care of our loved ones, that means folks are going to have to choose: Do I go to work? Do I stay home with my aging parents?” 📢 @seiupres.bsky.social on how the immigration crackdown could affect care. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

I had the absolute pleasure to chat with @senlaphonza.bsky.social on @seiu2015.bsky.social's podcast, Who Cares!. We celebrated a decade of care, victories like the Fight for $15, and talked about what’s next for California’s caregivers. Listen here: who-cares-seiu2015.podbean.com/e/senator-la...

Immigrants feed us. The administration is legislating with racism not reason. #ImmigrantsAreEssential

These Medicaid cuts would devastate California’s long-term care system. Older adults, people with disabilities, and hardworking families will be the first to feel the pain—and care workers won’t be far behind. #HandsOffMedicaid www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

A recent poll shows that 3 in 4 Republicans view Medicaid favorably—yet congressional Republicans want to move forward with gutting it. #HandsOffMedicaid www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Cuts to Medicaid will strip nearly 2 million people of their doctors, force 1.3 million to skip medications—and leave hundreds of thousands of people missing essential cancer screenings. These aren’t just numbers—these are lives on the line. #HandsOffMedicaid www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Congressional Republicans: Are you listening? Gutting something that’s this popular isn’t how democracy is supposed to work. #HandsOffMedicaid

Over 10 million hours of approved home care went unused last year in L.A. County 📢 that means a care shortage due to a wage shortage as the demand for care rises 📈 @seiu2015.bsky.social’s very own EVP, Carmen Roberts, breaks it down, read more below 📰: lasentinel.net/left-behind-...

These proposed budget cuts would cap IHSS workers' hours at 50 per week, down from 66. This reduction threatens the quality of care for so many Californians www.capradio.org/articles/202...

Cutting Medicaid means eliminating funding for housing and nutrition services, which would undermine the very foundation of community care. #HandsOffMedicaid www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-m...

Over 10 years ago, Rosa Andresen left her job to care for her daughter who has cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder. They’ve relied on Medicaid for support. But now, Rosa is terrified that their access will be taken away. abcnews.go.com/Health/feel-...

Care is not a line item in a budget—it’s a lifeline for millions. Cuts like this would devastate families across California. #HandsOffMedicaid

The truth is, gutting Medicaid will mean less people getting access to the life-saving care they need, and more people dying. #HandsOffMedicaid

With California’s proposed budget cuts to the IHSS program, we have very serious concerns about what will happen to home care providers and their ability to sustain any quality of life.

Caregivers said NO to the proposed CA budget. SEIU 2015 members made nearly 16,000 calls to legislative leadership to defend IHSS, protect nursing home standards, and stop cuts to long-term care. This is worker power. This is community. #UnionsForAll
