On Saturday, SEIU 775 caregivers rallied in Butte, Montana as part of a nationwide day of action to defend care, safety, education, and dignity for all families. We showed up in all 50 states to send the message: Our families come first – not billionaires.

“The budget resolution passed by Senate Republicans today is not policy – it is an assault on working people...This isn’t fiscal responsibility — it’s cruelty dressed up as governance. ” Leslie Frane, Executive Vice President, SEIU Full statement: seiu.co/4lu9CQB

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

Join us at 11:15 am TODAY at Seattle City Hall to demand they free SEIU-USWW President David Huerta and end ICE raids! We need to join together to Free America and demand our leaders stop this assault on our freedoms, our families, and our futures. #FreeDavidEndRaids #SolidaritySummer

At Aegis Living Ravenna, we've been fighting for a fair contract for nearly two years because Aegis refuses to pay employees a living wage. Aegis workers are going back to the bargaining table this month, and we need to put pressure on Aegis. Support workers by sharing this post!

We’re out here! 💜✊ SEIU locals from up and down the West Coast showed up strong to support @seiu925.bsky.social Lewelyn Dixon and her family outside the ICE detention center in Tacoma. @seiu775.org @seiu6.bsky.social @seiu1199nw.bsky.social @seiu503.bsky.social @seiu2015.bsky.social #FreeLewelyn

A broken clock is right twice a day. DON'T F WITH MEDICAID.

Veronica, better known as “Vee” to her union siblings, is a @seiu775.org member who shares, “Taking care of our elders is already part of Samoan culture. I’m a caregiver 24/7, but organizing is in my blood.” #AANHPIHeritageMonth

Last week, SEIU 775 caregiver, BJ, went to DC to join members from other SEIU locals and community partners for a 24-hour storytelling vigil to protect Medicaid! Help defend Medicaid against cuts by telling our members of Congress to keep their hands off Medicaid! Call Congress at 866-426-2631.

“We all love America. We don’t want it to be taken cheap,” said Dorcas, an SEIU 775 caregiver. Dorcas attended the Seattle May Day rally last week to march with our Union siblings and support workers and immigrants. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Caregivers rallied in Montana to share our concerns about Medicaid cuts and urge lawmakers to protect vulnerable Montanans from losing our coverage and jobs. Tell Congress to keep their hands off Medicaid: Call Congress at 866-426-2631 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JQu...

👋 EVERETT! The signs here say it best- STOP the cuts & put an end to billionaire & corporate welfare! We know that wealth taxes work, so make the super-rich pay what they owe #peopleoverprofit #waleg @brandydonaghy.bsky.social @housedemocrats.wa.gov @wasenatedemocrats.bsky.social @seiu775.org

What does Medicaid mean to caregivers? Tell Congress to keep their hands off Medicaid: Email your Congress member at speak4.app/lp/kk01fs0b or call Congress at 866-426-2631.

From Mt. Vernon to Tacoma, people are standing up against cuts to health care and education, and for taxes big corporations and mega-millionaires! #waleg @housedemocrats.wa.gov @seiu775.org @seiu925.bsky.social

"If they cannot appreciate our work, if they cannot appreciate us taking care of their own parents, grandparents, and children, then what else do they want?" said Nelly, an SEIU 775 caregiver, when speaking about the impact of anti-immigration policies on caregivers. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Our union sister Lewelyn Dixon has been unjustly detained by ICE. A 50-year U.S. resident, a pillar of her family, and a valued worker—this could happen to any of us. We demand @uofwa.bsky.social take action NOW! #UWProtectYourWorkers #ImmigrantRights

It's the five-year anniversary of HADit legislation being signed into law! This was a huge win because it helps provide protections for caregivers who are at a higher risk for harassment, abuse, and discrimination in the workplace. For more info on HADit, go to seiu775.org/hadit

Caregivers from across AK flew into Juneau for our Purple Fly-Ins at the AK State Capitol! We met with every single State Senate office and almost every House office, wrote postcards and letters to legislators, testified in hearings, and rallied on the steps of the Capitol to make our voices heard.

Apologies to Kathleen, she is a member of @seiu775.org, not 925! Details the people she cares for, and how she identified metal poisoning in one of her patients, saving her live. Says with no progressive revenue, cuts to programs like hers would kill vulnerable patients through lack of care.

Thank you to @atg.wa.gov for speaking to our Executive Board today and answering questions about housing, immigration, and more!

Cutting Medicaid will have severe impacts on caregivers, our clients, and the nearly 80 million people who depend on it. That's why this month, hundreds of caregivers and community healthcare allies across WA, MT, and AK took action across multiple cities to stand up for Medicaid!

🚨 STAND WITH DETAINED IMMIGRANT WORKERS! Labor and community are gathering at the NW Detention Center in Tacoma 3/27 to protest the detention of Lewellyn Dixon, a member of @seiu925.bsky.social, and Alfredo ‘Lelo’ Juarez, an organizer with Familias Unidas por la Justicia. 3/27 5:30PM 1623 E J St

We're at the Capitol right now to tell Congress: #HandsOffMedicaid! No tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of working families. #ProtectMedicaid #CareOverCuts

No matter your immigration status, you are protected by the U.S. Constitution. Knowing your rights can keep you and your family safe. You can find trusted resources and information on our website at seiu775.org/immigration-...

SEIU members joined the Yakima community today to demand Congressman Dan Newhouse support and fund Medicaid! Our union child care providers see first-hand the impact that Medicaid has on working families. Our kids deserve it! #HandsOffMedicaid #UnionStrong @seiu775.org

“If these cuts happen, I will have to start planning funerals,” Tammalivis Salanoa said while standing outside the Alaska State Capitol on Wednesday.

Claire, CNA in Olympia and member of @seiu775.org: Says there's very high turnover of workers and wages are low, and that hurts the people she cares for. If these #Waleg budget cuts go through, you, or your loved ones may not get the care you need.

Medicaid funds healthcare, jobs and essential public services—from hospitals to home care, special education to mental health, even transportation for seniors. Making any cuts to it will hurt entire communities. Call Congress NOW at 866-426-2631 and tell them: #HandsOffMedicaid

Women continue to be at the forefront of progress, challenging the status quo and fighting for all workers. Together, we continue the work of trailblazers by building a more equitable world and fighting against systemic gender inequality. #WomensHistoryMonth

Essie, a caregiver and SEIU 775 member from Fairbanks, Alaska, spoke about how cuts to Medicaid funding would impact her, and her mother and daughter, who she cares for. "Not only would people lose jobs — people would lose lives," she said. #SaveMedicaid

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.

SEIU 775 caregiver Alyssa had the opportunity earlier this week to join Rep. Larsen in a roundtable discussion on the importance of protecting Medicaid and investing in care. #SaveMedicaid

Caregivers across WA went to our state capitol last week for our first Purple Presence of the Legislative Session! We spoke with lawmakers about what we need: fair wages and benefits, a more streamlined background check process, healthcare for NH workers, and more! seiu775.org/2025waleg #UnionStrong

Today, SEIU 775 caregivers from WA and AK met with our US Senators and Representatives in DC because members of Congress are threatening to slash Medicaid, which would mean our clients and nursing home residents would lose care.

The Working Families Tax Credit age expansion had their hearing yesterday! We were here w/ home care workers from @seiu775.org, partners at @foodlifeline.bsky.social + Latino Community Fund, & our leg. champion Rep My-Linh Thai. It’s time to get cash to young folks + seniors! #WaLeg

Currently, parents of children with disabilities cannot get paid to care for them until the child turns 18. This legislative session, we're supporting the policy to allow parents of Medicaid eligible children under the age 18 to be paid caregivers. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/02/05/w...

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor Black labor activists fighting to build unions for all workers—resisting the exploitation that continues today. Their courage teaches us that unity is our strength and we won’t back down in the fight against attacks on diversity & worker rights!

Nursing home members and SEIU 775 President Sterling Harders (at 1:14:56) testified during yesterday's hearing in support of SB 5344, which would establish the Essential Worker Healthcare Program - affordable healthcare for nursing home workers in Washington State! www.tvw.org/watch/?clien...

SEIU 775 stands by Parent Providers. Today, a group of Parent Providers showed up in Olympia to support SB 5222, a bill that would allow parents of minors to be reimbursed for the care they provide. Currently these parents can’t get paid for their essential work, which we are working to change.

This week, Vicki, caregiver and SEIU 775 Executive Board member, stressed the critical need to strengthen WA Cares when she shared her story with the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee. www.tvw.org/watch/?clien...

“A living wage should be the right of all working Americans." —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his fight for racial & economic justice. There’s no economic justice without racial justice. Unions give workers a voice & help to ensure fair wages for all. ✊✊🏽✊🏾#UnionStrong

Caregivers, our clients, and our families came out to 11 End of Year parties around Washington State!

We’re thrilled to share breaking news: The AFL-CIO and @seiu.org are reuniting with a new, long-term effort to make it easier for workers to win a voice on our jobs with our unions.  There’s power in unity! aflcio.org/press/releas...

2M SEIU Members 🤝 13M AFL-CIO Members SEIU just joined America’s biggest federation of labor unions, the @aflcio.org. Together, we’re taking on corporate union busters and changing the rules so every worker who wants a union can have one. Let’s do this!
