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. #CBCALC54 #SolidaritySeason #CBCWeek #ALC54

I wonder how that rumor started….Nevertheless i’m pretty cool! #CBCALC54 #SolidaritySeason #CBCWeek #ALC54

Y’all the SEIU Delegation Welcome Reception was one for the books! It was such a powerful and inspiring time to be surrounded by family, connecting and talking about the fights we are in and the victories we are winning together. Cheers to #CBCALC54! #SolidaritySeason #CBCWeek #ALC54

Yes, CBC Week is about celebrating and honoring the Black excellence in every room. But it is also about power—how we use our collective strength to advance our people, especially at a time when our freedoms are under attack. This week we celebrate, we strategize, and we rise together. #ALC54

In this moment, it is easy to be angry and cynical. But our real work is transforming that anger into power. We must commit to this work—for working families and for the future our children deserve. #CBCALC54 #SolidaritySeason #CBCWeek #ALC54

The line I carry into every room is: let’s go get it. For me, it is a call to action. It means using our power, moving together, and holding on to our dreams until they become reality. #CBCALC54 #SolidaritySeason #CBCWeek #alc54

This Unions, OUR UNION💜💜💪🏾💪🏽💪🏻

Tonight we gather for the Bridge Builders Congressional Awards Reception during #CBCWeek — a room filled with Black excellence, power, and purpose. Honoring leaders who continue to build bridges for justice, equity, and our future. #CBCALC54 #SolidaritySeason #CBCWeek #ALC54

Grocery prices are 21% higher than 4 years ago. Guess how much the federal minimum wage has gone up since 4 years ago? $0.00

4 million families. 4 million children. Families who’ve built lives here, paid taxes here, raised kids here, now forced to draw up “emergency plans” in case ICE rips parents away. www.npr.org/2025/09/22/n...

Y'all, we are HERE at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 54th Annual Legislative Conference. We are ready to protect our rights, build economic power, shape lasting change and more importantly... spread some joy! 🔥 #ALC54

As we celebrate and uplift one another at #CBCWeek, we must also be about the business of working folks — that means speaking up, strategizing, mobilizing and putting our bodies on the line to build, and chart a path forward for working families.

Congratulations to the 60K child care providers with @ccpucalifornia.bsky.social! You fought, you organized, & you WON, protecting healthcare, winning cost-of-living adjustments & stabilization pay, & building a foundation for the future. This is what worker power looks like. 💪🏿 #UnionsForAll

Leo Gerard dedicated his life to building power for workers, from Sudbury to Pittsburgh to the world. His legacy lives in every fight for safer jobs, fair pay, and respect on the job. Rest in power, brother. ✊🏿💜 #UnionStrong www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Because of Trump’s megabill, more than 2 million Americans could lose healthcare coverage next year. That’s 2 million more people where a doctor's visit can bankrupt them. This is not the American dream. This is a nightmare. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Support your fellow workers instead of the billionaires who don’t know, or care, that you exist. It’s that damn simple.

Big trouble. Because if one man has a trillion dollars while millions of others are struggling to pay the bills every day, something is very wrong.

🚨California just lit the spark🚨 800K+ rideshare drivers are on the verge of winning collective bargaining rights, one of the biggest expansions of union power in generations. This isn’t just a policy change. It’s a new chapter for worker power. www.governing.com/workforce/ca...

We’re ready to celebrate Black leadership! @seiu.org is a proud sponsor of Bridge Builders 2025, and we’re honoring leaders who are shaping the future of our workplaces, our democracy, and our communities. #ALC54 #CBCF #SolidaritySeason

Trump’s administration wants to roll back history, stripping 3.7M home care workers of minimum wage & overtime protections. @seiu2015.bsky.social’s Arnulfo De La Cruz said it best: “This change would undo a decade of progress.” We’re not going back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When this government pressures corporations to silence critics, we all lose. If the Trump admin can bully Disney’s ABC into pulling Jimmy Kimmel, what happens when bosses are pressured to silence workers fighting for strong contracts? Free speech protections must apply to all of us.

Nicolle Orozco Forero cared for kids with disabilities in Seattle. Her son needed lifesaving treatment. Instead of care, ICE ripped up his doctor’s letter and deported the whole family. This is what cruelty looks like, and we won’t look away. 19thnews.org/2025/09/fami...

Let me lay out some numbers for y’all. Since 1978: CEO pay has gone up 1,085%. The typical worker’s pay has gone up just 24%. And… The average price of a home has gone up an estimated 500%.

Generations of Black families in the South fought to build and protect their land, only to see Trump rip away protections and halt lifesaving projects. But when the politicians fail, workers rise. We won’t be erased. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Silencing speech under political pressure is a direct threat to workers. If they can muzzle a talk show host, they can muzzle us. Free speech for one means free speech for all.

Thank you to @ramirez.house.gov, I am deeply humbled by these words. 💜 I stand alongside millions of workers who refuse to be silenced. This fight isn’t about me, it’s about US. Together we’re building the bold, unstoppable labor movement workers deserve.

The rise in long-term unemployment among college-educated workers shows what we already know: no degree protects you when the system is designed to put billionaires first and workers last. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...

Stop shaming working people for a morning mocha latte or adding guacamole to their burrito or toast. Start shaming corporations for paying their workers poverty wages and politicians for writing legislation that only serves billionaires.

Starbucks baristas have been VERY clear: no contract, no coffee. If bosses keep stalling, workers are ready to strike, and the labor movement will have their backs. #UnionStrong #NoContractNoCoffee @sbworkersunited.org inthesetimes.com/article/star...

Things that shouldn’t be normalized: - Poverty pay - Layoffs - Needing two jobs to afford rent

The Supreme Court ruled that ICE agents can consider someone “working a low-wage job” a factor in arrests. If you’re not mad, it’s time to start paying attention.

Record profits should translate to record pay. Period.

Every child deserves a safe place to learn. Every parent deserves to drop off their kid without fear. Raids at schools are an attack on our nation as a whole. apnews.com/article/scho...

The rich got richer while working people, especially Black people and women, got poorer. The only solution is systemic change. #UnionsForAll www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Every year, workers die on the job because their workplaces don’t provide water, shade, or breaks. These are completely preventable deaths. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

The Supreme Court’s ruling unleashes law enforcement to harass and violently attack people just because they are Black, brown, or AAPI, speak other languages, and happen to work in a low-wage job. This is a direct attack on SEIU members. We won’t back down.

If the Trump administration really wanted to “Make America Healthy Again,” he wouldn’t be cutting Medicaid, he would be expanding it.

Every attack on unions is an attack on all workers. Trump and his billionaire buddies want us divided and exhausted. Wrong move. We’re linking arms and building a labor movement too powerful to bust. @epi.org #UnionsForAll www.epi.org/blog/trump-i...

Denying vaccines, cutting Medicaid, and silencing scientists isn’t “health policy.” It’s sabotage. Robert Kennedy Jr. has no business running the Department of Health and Human Services. Working people demand real healthcare, not conspiracies.

An 83-year-old relative sent this to me today and said he’s so inspired by Starbucks workers and their fight for a contract that he sent this to his friends and asked them to share it with everyone they know. 🥹

Employers are legally allowed to pay poverty wages across America. THIS is why we organize. THIS is why unions are so important. To fight back. To fight for livable wages.

History is clear: when Black unemployment rises, a broader downturn follows. Black women are the warning sign. Policymakers must act and workers must organize. Strong unions are the path to prosperity and justice. #UnionsForAll www.forbes.com/sites/richar...

“Prices are WAY DOWN” shouts the man in the palace to the workers starving outside the gates.

Racial justice and economic justice are inseparable. Black women losing jobs at record rates isn’t just a statistic, it’s a call to organize. Collective bargaining is how we fight back and build an economy that works for EVERY worker. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

“What’s going to happen when millions of Americans can no longer find a home care provider? What happens when immigrants aren’t in the field to pick our crops? Who’s going to staff our hospitals and nursing homes?” - @arnulfoseiu2015.bsky.social apnews.com/article/labo...

Trump draped a banner of his face on the Dept. of Labor and called it “American Workers First.” I call bull. He’s gutting wages, ripping away union rights, and making jobs more dangerous. That’s not worker-first, it’s billionaire-first. #UnionsForAll www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No child should be turned away from care because of where they were born. Head Start is education, it’s health, it’s survival. 19thnews.org/2025/08/head...

A group of billionaires, hoarding the nation’s wealth, are trying to convince us that immigrants are the reason working families can’t afford rent. Right.

Mike Johnson’s district depends on Medicaid, yet he’s leading the charge to rip it away. Families in Louisiana are already struggling to pay rent & groceries. Now Johnson’s cuts threaten their doctors, clinics & kids’ care. #HandsOffMedicaid www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...
