Workers over billionaires.
Care over corporate greed.
People over profits.
Every. Damn. Time.

[Millionaires for Humanity @Mills4Humanity]

When taxes are fair, the wealthy don't leave. It’s working families who are forced out when public services get cut. 🛑

One year ago, this administration passed a bill that handed more power to billionaires and made it harder for working people to eat.
In Arizona alone, nearly 500,000 people lost SNAP, including 200,000 children.
This was never about fraud.

[SEIU Texas @SEIUTX]

In support of his family and to mourn this loss of life, we are holding a vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo this Saturday, July 11 at 10am. This was a tragic shooting in our community and we hope Araujo's family receives the healing, justice and transparency they deserve.

People with Temporary Protected Status, including 32BJ members, keep our communities running. Ending TPS would separate families and harm our communities. We will keep fighting to protect our families.

The boss already knows how powerful workers are.
The question is: do we?

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should be alive.

We need this terror to end.

[Union of Southern Service Workers @RaiseUptheSouth]

On this day in Southern Labor History, July 8th, 1908, 4,000 coal mine workers walked out of their jobs & went on strike. They were joined by twice as many workers by the 2nd week. The Birmingham District Coal Strike of 1908 was a significant labor dispute that unfolded in AL.

A full tank of gas and a full grocery cart should not feel like a luxury.
That's not asking for too much.
That's asking for an economy that works for the people who keep it running.

CEOs when workers ask for a raise: 😬📉💸
CEOs when approving their own bonus: 🥂💰🎉

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

This administration is spending billions to cancel wind leases while union workers are ready to work.
A good union job. A paycheck they can count on.
Why would anyone take that away?

THIS is why we organize!💜💛

[SEIU Local 2015 @SEIU2015]

🎉Great news for Lake County home care providers!

After nearly a year at the bargaining table, IHSS workers have secured a tentative agreement for a new union contract that includes raises and additional funding for union activities. Members in Lake County can vote on this one-year contract in person at Middletown Library this Friday, July 10, from 2pm to 6pm. To vote online and see more details on the new Lake IHSS contract, see the next tweet!

Imagine if we taxed billionaires with the same energy we target immigrants.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 BILLION in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022.

Some multi-billionaires paid $0.

Immigrants aren't the problem in this economy.

Billionaires are.

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Congratulations, Princess Moss! @NEAToday is in strong hands. Here's to building power together.
And to my sister Becky Pringle: thank you for showing us what fearless leadership looks like. You carried this movement forward, and I’m grateful to have walked alongside you.

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

What happened to the version of the American Dream where one job was enough?

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

Helping me means helping each other.
Organize your workplace. Show up for your community. Fight alongside your neighbors.
Because when we show up for each other, there's nothing we can't build together. ✊🏿

[SEIU @SEIU]

Healthcare workers at Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz are standing up for their patients and their co-workers. ✊

Management is proposing layoffs and staffing cuts in an industry already stretched too thin. Less staff means heavier workloads, longer waits, and less time for direct patient care.

We aren't just fighting for jobs, we're fighting for the quality care every patient deserves.

Patients first. Profits last.

Essence Fest was full of joy, power and truth. And the truth is this: we need each other now more than ever.
Our power has never come from individualism. It comes from community. From collective action. From knowing that my fight is your fight.
So yes, let’s bet on one another.

[April Verrett @SEIUPres]

@CSUEU workers keep the largest public university system in the country running, and they are done being told to settle for lower pay and less security.
Respect the work. Negotiate the contract.
