Rena Bumbray-Graves cares for others every day.
Because Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire, she’s now losing her own health care—along with millions of Americans.
I asked her what this crisis means for her family.

The shutdown’s over, but the damage is real.
Workers went unpaid. Families lost food aid. Healthcare costs are climbing.
Thune, Johnson, and Trump’s White House caused this chaos.
Working families WON’T FORGET and WE WON’T FORGIVE.🔥🔥🔥

THIS is what power looks like. Starbucks baristas are standing tall, with their shoulders back and their heads high, and they’re showing the world what it looks like to demand a fair contract.
At SEIU, we see you, we back you, and we’ll be there with you @sbworkersunited.org every step of the way.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

Starbucks knows where workers stand. They know the demands. And 92% of baristas just said: we’re ready to strike.
If Starbucks keeps ignoring them, Red Cup Day won’t be business as usual— it’ll be Red Cup Rebellion.
