David Huerta was tackled, pepper-sprayed & detained by ICE earlier this year. Yesterday, he testified before Congress to demand justice for workers and families targeted by abusive raids. We fight until every community is safe. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Wow! Senators Kelly and Slotkin and Reps DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow encouraging members of the military to defy illegal orders!

California voters said Not on Our Watch. SEIU members powered millions of YES votes to pass #Prop50 – stopping Trump’s rigged maps and protecting our democracy. 15K volunteers. 1.2M texts. One message to MAGA extremists: California fights back. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Federal election monitors are coming to California after MAGA Republicans demanded “oversight.” Make NO mistake, our elections are safe and secure. What they fear isn’t fraud – it’s working people voting. #YesOnProp50 apnews.com/article/doj-...

BREAKING: Gig drivers WON. Governor GavinNewsom just signed #AB1340 into law – giving 800,000+ drivers the right to form a union and bargain with Uber & Lyft. Worker power made this victory happen.💜

Trump’s “compact” is nothing less than a hostile takeover of America’s universities – forcing MAGA ideology on every campus. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social made it clear: If any California university signs this deal, they instantly lose billions in state funding – including Cal Grants.

When J.D. Vance isn't busy vacationing overseas, he's LARPing as Charlie Kirk while the Trump administration effectively claims unions, immigrants, & liberal orgs are all part of a “terror network.” This isn’t grief. It’s a cheap excuse to criminalize dissent. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Every worker has rights – no matter where they’re from or what they look like. #SB294 makes sure workers KNOW those rights so no boss can take them away. Thank you Assm. Member Reyes for ensuring workers can defend themselves from exploitation. seiuca.org/press-releas...

First Texas. Now Missouri. Kansas City voters erased. Black voters’ power diluted. This is what Trump’s gerrymander agenda looks like in Missouri. They won't stop until they've silenced every critic and nullified every voter. #YesOn50 is our defense. abcnews.go.com/Politics/mis...

No one should fear “secret police” in California. Or literally ANYWHERE ELSE. #SB627 (@scottwiener.bsky.social) says – officers must be visible & identifiable when interacting with the public. Transparency = trust.

Workers who care for our elders & people with disabilities know the truth – many are living on the edge of disaster. That’s what #AB246 (@ib2real.bsky.social 💜) does: protect seniors & people with disabilities from eviction when federal payments are disrupted. seiuca.org/press-releas...

ICE continues to spread fear in our neighborhoods – invading homes, courthouses, even hospitals. We’ve seen parents torn from children, workers brutalized, & communities under siege. That’s why we stand with Sen. Durazo to keep our data + communities safe & secure. #SB580 seiuca.org/press-releas...

While workers are organizing in record numbers, Trump is gutting the NLRB, killing mediation, and union-busting by executive order. Let this be a warning to every worker: if Trump can strip rights from a million federal employees, he’ll come for all of us. www.epi.org/blog/trump-i...

Privatization isn’t efficiency. It’s exploitation. When local governments privatize public jobs, our communities pay the price. Corners cut. Services weakened. Workers silenced. With #AB339, we protect public services and workers’ voices. #CAleg seiuca.org/press-releas...

No child should go hungry just because school is out. With SB 411, California can make sure kids in low-income families have food over summer break & during emergencies. Thank you #CALeg for standing with students! seiuca.org/press-releas...

This is HISTORY. 800,000 rideshare drivers are on the verge of winning their union rights. The Senate just passed #AB1340. After a quick assm concurrence vote, it heads directly to Governor @GavinNewsom. Workers fought, organized and WON. #CaLeg seiuca.org/press-releas...

This ruling is racist. It’s unconstitutional. It’s dangerous. Any 4th grader who’s studied the Bill of Rights knows that. @USSupremeCourt doesn’t care – but working people do. We reject Trump’s terror campaign. We fight for our families, our freedoms, our democracy. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Half of Southern California could now be “reasonably suspected” under Trump’s dragnet. Let that sink in: 10 MILLION of our neighbors living in fear because of the color of their skin. #KangarooCourt www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Immaculate vibes. Purple shirts. Loud voices. One message. California workers are READY to protect our Democracy, and our campaign for #YESon50 starts NOW with kickoff events statewide.

One more important step for #AB1340 – it's cleared for a full vote by the Senate in the coming days. More than 800,000 gig drivers are on the verge of being able to form their union! #CaGigUnion #CaLeg

With heavy hearts, we mourn our union sister Mary Gutierrez-Hunter. Mary brought justice to those in need, beauty and laughter to every space she entered, and fierce dedication to working people. She lives on in our hearts and in our movement. Please keep her loved ones in your thoughts.

This isn't just about California. This is a national battle for our democracy happening at the ballot box. We know that if anyone can stop a wannabe dictator, SEIU members can – and will. @politico.com @gavinnewsom.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

“Democracy is on the line.” – David Huerta, SEIU CA President Trump wants to steal the midterms. California workers won’t let him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Trump & MAGA Republican sellouts spiked your healthcare premiums and cut your care. Up to 600,000 Californians could lose health care to pay for corporate tax cuts. And they expect you to thank them. Not in California. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Veterans fought for our country. Now VA workers are fighting for them – and Doug Collins is standing in the way. Respect veterans. Respect unions. #UnionStrongForVets Take action: seiu.co/VASUP

With ICE outside and Trump's playbook on display, we came out with @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to defend democracy. We won't stand by while bullies try and rig the rules to silence working people. We're done playing defense. We’re fighting fire with fire. seiuca.org/press-releas...

@protectourcare.org with the receipts. More at: www.protectourcare.org/premium-disa...

They called it a “budget bill.” We call it the largest health care cut in U.S. history – over $1 TRILLION ripped away from working families to fund billionaire tax breaks – which will force over 20 million Americans to pay an average of 75 percent more for their healthcare coverage.

“We are a power. We must embrace that power. Long live the workers!” David Huerta’s words close out With These Hands — and launch the next chapter of our fight. Watch Part 4, then take action: thesehands.us/take-action/

David Huerta delivers the message we need to hear. Every worker. Every language. Every color. UNITED. We close this series with a challenge for all: Organize. Stand together. Fight together. #ConEstasManos #WithTheseHands @californialabor.bsky.social @ufw.bsky.social @bravenewfilms.bsky.social

Trump’s trying to rig the 2026 elections before a single vote is cast – using illegal, mid-decade gerrymanders in Texas and other red states. California won’t sit back while he redraws democracy with a red sharpie.

To work in America is to have dignity. But ICE and exploitation try to strip it away. If one group of workers is hurting, our entire community should feel it. And fight back. @californialabor.bsky.social @ufw.bsky.social @bravenewfilms.bsky.social

Dignity isn’t just a word. It’s earned, every day, by the hands that feed and build for us. Respect it. Defend it. Watch Part 2 of our new Tuesday series — then take action. thesehands.us/take-action/ #ConEstasManos #WithTheseHands

First they attacked our unions. Then they attacked our healthcare. Now they’re coming for our democracy. SEIU California is organizing for real representation – not empire-building. seiuca.org/press-releas...

No one should live in fear of simply going to work. Add your name to demand dignity, protections, and accountability for immigrant workers. Watch Part 2 of our new Tuesday series — then take action. thesehands.us/take-action/

Immigrants built this country. We’re organizing to protect every worker who calls it home. #ConEstasManos #WithTheseHands @californialabor.bsky.social @ufw.bsky.social @bravenewfilms.bsky.social

From the fields to the frontlines, immigrant workers keep this country going. #WithTheseHands we work. We build. We care. We campaign for dignity, solidarity, and justice. @californialabor.bsky.social @ufw.bsky.social @bravenewfilms.bsky.social

SEIU California members don’t back politicians who slash healthcare. We back doctors who fight for it. Dr. Jasmeet Bains is saving lives in Delano while David Valadao voted to cut Medi-Cal. We need her voice in Congress #CD22 to block cuts and fight for us. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Trump just carried out the biggest union-busting move in U.S. history – stripping rights from over a million workers, slashing wages, gutting safety protections, and handing the NLRB to Amazon’s favorite union-busters. thelefthook.com/2025/07/11/t...

A worker was killed. Dozens detained. Dr. Jonathan Caravello, A CSU faculty member and US citizen, was brutalized & disappeared by ICE for observing. Trump’s ICE thugs are escalating terror in our communities. Release them ALL. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Valadao is vulnerable. He knows it, and so do we. That's why he voted to slash Medicaid in the most Medicaid-dependent district in California. He thinks he could lose, and voted to serve the rich – not workers – on his way out the door. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

The American people won’t forget how Republicans voted to eliminate their health care and jack up their energy bills — all to give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country.    Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is the ultimate betrayal. But the fight’s not over yet.

While the GOP smears poor people, it’s really Walmart & Amazon looting Medicaid + SNAP to subsidize low pay. Corporate America = the real welfare queens. Don’t miss @hiltzikm.bsky.social in @latimes.com : www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Unbelievable. Senate Republicans just voted to TERMINATE healthcare & SNAP for millions — all to funnel more billions to billionaires. This vote exposes Trump’s MAGA agenda: always for billionaires—not for working families fighting for care, food, dignity. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Birthright citizenship is not negotiable. It’s in the Constitution. It’s settled law. And no wannabe dictator, Trump or otherwise, gets to rewrite that. Not now. Not ever. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Working families showed up, and forced the state to move. The #CaBudget agreement is a step forward, but still asks too much of the people who keep CA running while – again – giving corporations and the ultra-wealthy a pass. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Assaulting elected officials is the mark of an autocratic regime. The attack on @padilla.senate.gov is a direct assault on all of us. We will not stay silent. We fight for workers. We fight for immigrants. We fight for democracy. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The raids. The arrests. The attacks on @chirla-org.bsky.social‬ and 200+ other NGO's. It’s all connected. This is a full-scale assault on immigrant power and working people. We fight back. Together. #StandWithCHIRLA

ICE’s idea of “helping our country” is turning families into targets, terrorizing communities and turning people against each other. Your hotline isn’t public safety – it’s public intimidation. Shame on DHS.

California’s legislative leaders took a stand to protect vital investments in home care, public transportation, higher ed, and state worker pay. We remain committed to partnering with the Legislature & Governor on a true working people’s #CaBudget. seiuca.org/press-releas...
