Michigan is facing a decade-long staffing crisis in healthcare. Shortages are hitting rural areas the hardest, leaving home health care workers in urgent demand. Michigan cannot afford this. Invest in healthcare workers now. www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/health-...

When rural hospitals close, the drive to the ER can become the drive you don’t survive. Keep them open. Keep us alive.

Women’s healthcare is not optional. A judge just blocked Trump’s attempt to strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood—protecting access to birth control, cancer screenings, and life‑saving care. apnews.com/article/plan...

Medicaid keeps care within reach for millions—keep it that way.

ACA premiums in Michigan could spike 15–20% next year. At the same time, Congress is cutting $1.2 trillion from Medicaid. This is what it looks like when you trade our health for their wealth. wdet.org/2025/07/22/m...

This “Big Beautiful Bill” includes cuts to popular, vital programs like Medicaid—that’s why the majority of people oppose it. Medicaid saves lives. #HandsOffMedicaid

In Detroit this weekend, working families came together for #FamiliesFirst rallies to demand an end to the policies tearing us apart. The message was clear: Medicaid saves lives. Immigration is not a threat. Our families come first. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

No one should have to drive 100 miles to see a doctor. When hospitals close, it’s not just inconvenient—it’s deadly. Medicaid keeps rural healthcare alive.

Michigan’s Medicaid program is facing a $15 BILLION hit. Rural hospitals are bracing for closures. Nearly 300,000 people could lose coverage. All so the rich can get a tax cut. #HandsOffMedicaid www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Michigan just erased $144 million in medical debt for 210,000 people in one sweep—no one applied, no bills to pay. That’s care, not charity. House republicans should take notes.

Michigan hospitals are staring down a $6B cut in Medicaid funding. Community health centers could shut down. Rural care is at risk - all while the rich keep their tax cuts. They’re trading OUR HEALTH for THEIR WEALTH. #HandsOffMedicaid michiganadvance.com/2025/07/16/s...

Lead testing? Cut. Disease surveillance? Cut. Public health protections for Michigan families? On the chopping block. All because of federal funding cuts. This is how preventable crises start. themanchestermirror.com/2025/07/21/m...

They’re trading OUR HEALTH for THEIR WEALTH. Congress has passed a budget bill that guts Medicaid and slashes healthcare—so the rich can get tax breaks.

1 in 4 Americans rely on Medicaid. That’s not just a safety net—that’s a foundation. Anyone attacking Medicaid is attacking working families, plain and simple.

📢 We’re bringing together some of Detroit’s strongest leaders for the Families First Day of Action. This Saturday, from small towns to big cities, working people are rising up with one clear message: Our families come first. Not billionaires. Not ICE. Not corporate thieves. RSVP: bit.ly/726detroit

Medicaid isn’t just healthcare—it’s economic infrastructure. When you slash it, you don’t just hurt patients. You shrink jobs, bankrupt caregivers, and destabilize entire communities. #HandsOffMedicaid

Republicans are nervous about the midterms—and they should be. They just voted to slash Medicaid by over $1 trillion. Seniors, working families, and people with disabilities will suffer. We’re going to make sure voters remember. #ProtectMedicaid

Medicaid isn't a handout. It's a lifeline—for caregivers, our families, and the people we serve. Slashing it while handing tax breaks to billionaires? That’s not policy. That’s violence. #CareisEssential

Longtime care workers are the backbone of our healthcare system. Now they’re being told their service doesn’t earn them fair pay or benefits? They’re striking—and we’re standing with them. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Not one more child without lunch. Not one more elder without medicine. Not one more immigrant abducted. Not one more family left to suffer so billionaires can get richer. On July 26, we rise to demand: Care, not cuts. Families, not billionaires. Join us in Detroit! RSVP at bit.ly/726detroit.

The Billionaire Bailout Bill just became a death sentence for rural hospitals. If your local ER closes, thank the politicians who chose tax cuts for the rich over healthcare for your family.

The Medicaid Massacre Bill isn’t just bad policy—it’s a direct attack on mental health care. With deep Medicaid cuts, behavioral health providers across Michigan say they may have to shut down or turn people away.

Here in Michigan, we work hard for what we have. So gutting Medicaid and stripping away our health care just to give tax breaks to billionaires who don't need them? Those aren’t Michigan values.

Meet the Michigan lawmakers who voted to gut healthcare and slash food assistance for hundreds of thousands of Michiganders.

2.6 million Michiganders are enrolled in Medicaid, and nearly 15% of our state’s population rely on SNAP. Gutting these critical programs will leave hundreds of thousands of families without the resources they need. michiganadvance.com/2025/06/27/a...

SEIU HCMI is proud to endorse Donavan McKinney for Congress. From the union hall to the State House, Donavan Mckinney has never stopped fighting for working people. Let’s send him to Washington.

We’re calling on MI’s U.S. House delegation to vote no. Stand with your constituents, not with corporations and extremist politicians willing to trade human lives for billionaire tax cuts.

Gutting Medicaid would be a disaster for public health, leaving millions without the care they need. #HandsOffMedicaid

Home Depot has become a high-profile target for the Trump Admin's ICE raids so we’re showing up to stand in solidarity with working people! These attacks are on working people, non-citizens and citizens alike—often only targeted because of the color of their skin. Act now: seiu.co/JusticeJourney

We went to Rep. John James’ office to urge him to vote NO on this dangerous budget. Medicaid and Medicare provide life-saving care to millions, if this budget passes, people will die. #ThisBillKills #SaveMedicaid

Michigan’s PACE program helps provide older adults the care they need, but thanks to Medicaid cuts, it’s on the chopping block. Cuts mean fewer hours, fewer services, and overworked caregivers. #HandsOffMedicaid www.mlive.com/news/grand-r...

The Republican’s bill wants more frequent Medicaid eligibility checks, but that would mean families—and caregivers—could lose health coverage without warning. #HandsOffMedicaid www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Parents like Taylor are fighting for their children and ALL Michiganders by telling our leaders: #HandsOffMedicaid. Read more about her story: gandernewsroom.com/opinion/john...

May the joy surround you and your family. Eid al-Adha Mubarak!

Right now, people are scared of losing access to the care they need. Medicaid is supposed to be there to help—gutting it just to give billionaires tax cuts they don’t need is just plain cruel. #HandsOffMedicaid abcnews.go.com/Health/feel-...

Nearly three out of five nursing home residents rely on Medicaid to get the around-the-clock care and housing they need. What will they do without that care? #HandsOffMedicaid

From food security to getting to a nearby hospital, to accessing the health care you need, these Medicaid cuts will devastate Michiganders on so many levels. #HandsOffMedicaid

Last week, over 300 caregivers took action. Our message is simple: Respect the work. Respect the workers. #CareIsEssential #RespectUsProtectUsPayUs www.fox2detroit.com/video/164476

On May 20th, over 300 of our members took action across 5 nursing homes. Why? Because enough is enough. We’re demanding fair pay, safe staffing, and the respect every caregiver deserves. www.wxyz.com/news/voices/...

Caring for others is our calling. Standing up for ourselves is our right. We seek fair compensation, adequate staffing, and the respect due to all workers. #UnionsForAll #CareForCaregivers www.fox2detroit.com/video/164423

It’s simple: You can’t have quality care without investing in care workers. Our Ciena workers went on a 24 hour strike at 5 facilities last week to call for a fair contract that supports the people who support our communities every day.

Voter fraud is already incredibly rare—this bill would just put up barriers for people to legally cast votes, and disenfranchise tens of thousands of Michiganders. www.freep.com/story/news/p...
