When leaders fail, it’s the workers who carry the burden.

More than half of all long-term care funding comes from Medicaid. Cutting it means cutting the care families rely on. Home care and nursing home workers are already stretched thin, we need more investment, not less. #CareIsEssential

From the halls of Sacramento to the streets of San Francisco, Senator John Burton’s compass never wavered: fight for workers, stand with the poor, defend disabled communities. He believed in our power to change California, and he never backed down. His legacy is justice. His fight is ours to finish.
