Proof that our voices matter. Avelo Airlines pulled out of several airports after protests from folks refusing to fly with an airline that deports their neighbors without due process. Join us to #DeICEflights: SEIU.org/DeICEflights

We’re not mad at families on SNAP—everyone deserves food. We’re mad at the CEOs getting rich off our work while paying us so little that we need SNAP to survive.

This pumpkin spice season, we’re standing with the 12,000 Starbucks baristas of @sbworkersunited.org demanding a fair union contract that includes higher pay, better staffing, and protections at work. #NoContractNoCoffee

I am proud to stand with California workers fighting for Prop 50 because we’re not waiting for permission to protect our power. We are DONE letting Trump redraw the rules while working people pay the price. #YesOnProp50

Pregnant mothers, including U.S. citizens, are being detained, separated from their young children, and in some cases, suffering miscarriages. This administration is ignoring federal policies, and it's costing lives.

ICE keeps detaining pregnant immigrants — against federal policy
But the number is impossible to measure since Congress let lapse a requirement that ICE report how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants are in custody.

Working people are being torn from their communities and flown far away from their families, all while these charter companies cash in.

No one should profit from cruelty and inhumanity. Tell airline CEOs to #DeICEflights! SEIU.org/DeICEflights

Revenge disguised as law enforcement. That’s exactly what the charges against SEIU USWW David Huerta is really about. This sets a dangerous precedent meant to intimidate anyone who stands up to Trump’s agenda. We won’t be silenced. #EndRaids

When this administration’s definition of “American” excludes us, Black and brown working people—citizen or not—become targets.

WE keep each other safe.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

We’re focused and we see clearly who’s taking away our healthcare — and it’s not our immigrant friends and families. It’s Republicans and their billionaire buddies.
We’re not fooled. Republicans are the ones cutting healthcare and scapegoating immigrants to try to distract us. Our tax dollars for raids, not healthcare?! We won’t be silent. @seiu1000.bsky.social

If Starbucks doesn’t return to the bargaining table soon, baristas across the country are committed and ready to go on strike.

VICTORY! 📷 SEIU 512 members in Fairfax County have voted to ratify their historic first union contract with a 99.9% majority- a massive victory for over 11,000 public service workers. This is what solidarity looks like!

That’s right! We have more in common with our immigrant neighbors, friends, and coworkers than we do with the billionaires who profit from our hard work and take away our healthcare.
When politicians and billionaires try to divide working people by scapegoating immigrants, we know exactly who benefits — and it’s NOT everyday people working hard just to make ends meet. (1/2)

👏🏽ICE agents can now be arrested. A top judge in Illinois signed an order preventing ICE agents from arresting people in or around Cook County courthouses. This will encourage people to safely attend court without fear. www.fox32chicago.com/news/cook-co...
