This National Caregivers Day, we honor home care workers who help seniors and people with disabilities live with dignity and independence in their own homes. #Homecare workers are joining together in unions to fight for higher wages, basic benefits and respect.
Amazon is paying $0 in taxes on $11+ billion in profit.
$0 for schools.
$0 for firefighters.
$0 for infrastructure.
$0 for research and healthcare.
Why should corporations that contribute nothing to the pot be in a position to take billions from the public?
BREAKING: The Illinois House just voted to pass the $15 minimum wage on a 69-47-1 vote.
Workers have fought for years to make this a reality - and now all it takes is @GovPritzker's signature to make history.
When we fight we win!

Real national emergencies:
- 1 in 5 Americans skip needed health care due to cost
- 70,000 Americans died in 2017 from drug overdoses
- Climate change threatens to disrupt every aspect of our lives
Not an emergency, not needed, not moral:
- Building a racist border wall
Raising the minimum wage is a racial justice issue.
In 2017, nearly 1 in 5 Hispanic workers and roughly 1 in 7 Black workers were earning poverty wages.
Raising the federal minimum wage is a crucial step in addressing racial income and wealth gaps. #RaiseTheWage
We had a good time attending the @RochesterArea meeting today where we continued our push for #HousingForAll, real inclusion and community engagement. Nice to hear from @DMCMN board member
Paul Williams as well! #rochmn
If you ever wondered why major hospitals aren't more engaged in advocacy on behalf of their patients, it could well be bc their CEOs get on the boards of insurance and pharma companies like old Noseworthy pulling down a cool $300k per board. https://t.co/g3EiP3LSiZ
LSP member & physician from Rochester, Minnesota @aaborrud says "#Reinsurance schemes don't rescue people, they do nothing to reduce deductibles & co-pays."
Reinsurance just lines the pockets of insurance executives. Instead, let's invest in people-centered solutions. #mnleg
What's the lesson Wisconsin learned from getting #Foxconned? Maybe don't give wealthy corporations enormous handouts and tax breaks for the vague promises of good jobs for working people? https://t.co/ldlFTkYXhn
BREAKING: Thank you @GovTimWalz and @LtGovFlanagan for renewing the Line 3 appeal! And to everyone who raised your voices in support. Please thank the Gov and Lt for their leadership to protect Indigenous rights and future generations. https://t.co/oQTD8eqKdR #StopLine3
Working people -- white, black or brown -- want to be able to care for our families. But right now a handful of ppl in power keep wages low wages so the rich get richer while rest of us fall behind. We need #FightFor15 & #Union!
