Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

Shut. It. Down.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Watch as Rep. Al Green, Democrat of Texas, stood to protest during President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress and was thrown out of the House chamber. Green said his protest was “worth it to let people know that there are some people who are going to stand up” to Trump. nyti.ms/3QIcTP0

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

Our pressure campaign is working‼️
Trump's VA was ready to cut hundreds of contracts that help our Veterans—from cancer care, disability ratings and more.
But because we got loud and exposed their chaos, they're thinking twice.
We can't stop here.
We can't back down, ever.
