David Huerta's courage in standing with immigrant workers embodies the best of America’s democratic values. It's how we show up for our neighbors, coworkers, & families. It's how we peacefully fight back as this administration turns its military on its own people. #JusticeForDavid @seiuca.org

There’s no time for business as usual. ‼️ Those in power in D.C., who are pushing an anti-worker/pro-billionaire agenda are counting on our silence and inaction to allow their plans to succeed. But that is not who we are. — the Sept-Oct issue of the 1199Mag, will be hitting mailboxes next week! 📬

Former Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell brushed off our concerns, saying Americans worried about Medicaid cuts will just “get over it.” 😡 We’re not getting over it. We’re fighting back harder. ✊ #ThisBillKills 🪦 (2/2) @nj.1199seiu.org

Happy Juneteenth! Today we commemorate the day on June 19, 1865, when enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas finally proclaimed their freedom (2.5 years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation). Carry that legacy with you as you celebrate Juneteenth! ✊

And today, we reaffirm our commitment to justice for all and work towards ending slavery in the U.S. In the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, "nobody's free until everybody's free." That remains true for the nearly 2 million people who are enduring forced labor while incarcerated. The fight continues!

A new chapter begins at 1199SEIU, so let’s build it together. Use the link in our bio to read President Yvonne Armstrong’s message in English, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Russian, and Spanish, or visit: digital.1199seiu.org/ANewChapter

Statement of Yvonne Armstrong, President of 1199SEIU UHWE: “The healthcare workers of 1199SEIU are appalled and outraged by the injury and arrest of SEIU-USWW President David Huerta alongside the detention of hundreds of others for protesting ICE abuses. (1/4)

"These violent arrests by federal agents are a blatant attack on the constitutional rights of every worker and every immigrant in this country; they run afoul of the most basic principles of free and democratic societies. (2/4)

“Our labor movement will continue to resist the Trump administration’s indefensible attacks against immigrant communities which are tearing families apart, stoking hatred and bigotry, and disrupting our economy. We are united in our demand: Free David Huerta, end the raids!” (3/4)

propaganda we're not falling for: working people don't use medicaid or snap. @nj.1199seiu.org

Everyone deserves to feel secure in their own home, at work, and within their community. Yet, the ICE raids are instilling fear. This wave of terror must stop now. We must stand together with all working people to demand safety and respect for all! #FreeDavidEndRaids @nj.1199seiu.org

“He is dead wrong. The only thing this proposal will achieve is slashing a life-saving program that directly supports nearly two million New Jerseyans." - Governor Phil Murphy on Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.’s Vote to Cut Medicaid digital.1199seiu.org/3S6tNaQ

Stop the raids & defend the Constitution! The caregivers of 1199SEIU are appalled by ICE’s mistreatment of NJ’s elected leaders— including Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Rep. Rob Menendez, and Mayor Ras Baraka who was arrested—outside an immigrant detention facility on Friday 5/9.

Medicaid is a lifeline for CD 7 resident Theresa Luoni and her autistic children. Call Congressman Tom Kean TODAY at 908-547-3307 and tell him to oppose any cuts to Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires. @acnjforkids.bsky.social @nj.1199seiu.org @forthemanynj.bsky.social
