When we fight, we win!

Incredible news out of Michigan, where 32,000 home care workers won their union. The power of organized people is what will get us through this moment ✊

“Let’s be clear: There is no good or right way to rip away healthcare coverage from 80 million children, senior citizens, veterans, working mothers and fathers, and people with disabilities. The budget resolution introduced by Senate Republicans is no better than the version being pushed by House Republicans. Whether you do it all at once or incrementally – by hook, or by crook – the result is the same: Working families and local communities will be devastated, while billionaires will get tax breaks.” @seiupres, April Verrett Read full statement:

“The budget proposal introduced by House Republicans — which will slash funding for Medicaid, food assistance and other vital services to fund tax breaks for the wealthy — is a cruel reminder of where our country is under this new Administration.” @seiupres, April Verrett https://t.co/erLEGSdnUk

200+ workers, from nurses to doctors, home care, nursing home, hospitals, schools and public service are at the Capitol today to tell Congress #HandsOffMedicaid. You can speak up too! Call 866-426-2631.

The doctors ultimately won a tentative agreement that includes “substantial” salary boosts, along with bonuses for longevity and bonuses designed to ensure doctors within certain specialties remain in the system, according to the Doctors Council: https://t.co/2bPKS09Geb

Workers like Lolita know @KamalaHarris understands the struggles of care workers because she's fought for them her entire career. She knows their work is essential. We're organizing, mobilizing & voting to ensure care workers get the respect & support they deserve. #CareCantWait

Let's put someone in the White House who cares about working families.

BREAKING: Vicki Gonzalez, RN and president of @seiu1991 reminds democratic & congressional leadership that we must stop Project 2025's attacks on the ACA & Medicaid. This plan will endanger our economic stability. We can’t grow the middle class without healthcare and we can’t build a great nation when families face bankruptcy due to medical emergencies.

Go, Ms. Wanda! Needed care jobs must be good union jobs.

[Care Is Essential @CareIsEssential]

"My union has given me the chance to connect with other home care workers all who want the same—to be able to do this job we love but also to care for ourselves & our own families. My caregiving doesn’t stop when I go home." -Wanda

Caregiving is a 24/7 commitment! #CareCantWait

[SEIU @SEIU]

Solidarity to our healthcare heroes in Michigan! 💜

RT @SEIU: Our economy is on a roll, but #GreedyCEOs and corporations need to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!

We will stand with leaders, like @POTUS…

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

BREAKING: @CMSGov & @POTUS just announced a proposed rule to help address the crisis in nursing home staffing. Black & brown nursing home workers have been instrumental in fighting for this historic step toward accountability and change. Read more: https://t.co/5yjKWG5i7I

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

On a daily basis, care workers and family caregivers do the important work of taking care of our children, parents, and those we love most.

We acted to increase access to care and support caregivers.

Because it's time we give our caregivers the dignity they give our loved ones.

Very scary Halloween

"Nurse calls 911 on ER crowding in Washington hospital"
Not an Onion headline, but truth. EMTs came and helped, which is pretty awesome. But our health care system will never recover from Covid if staff retention is not prioritized by management & govt.
