IMPORTANT (share widely!): Haitian & Syrian TPS holders remain in status for now. ✅ Contact your union rep if your employer attempts to terminate you due to the Supreme Court decision and because of the 7/10 date posted on the USCIS website–THIS IS INCORRECT. Find your local: seiu.co/FindMyLocal

After years of working, paying taxes, and raising American families, people with TPS shouldn’t be forced to live on a deadline. As we fight in the courts to #ProtectTPS, we’re also keeping up the fight for permanent protections and a real pathway to citizenship.

"Press coverage of cruel immigration policies often focuses on family separation. But loss of a trusted caregiver is a lot like that...Ripping that person away is like losing a family member." Katia Guillaume, @1199seiu.org VP, joined @jayapal.house.gov for a hearing on Trump's Attacks on TPS.

International Workers' Day is about recognizing what workers of the past fought so hard for. Let’s celebrate MAY DAY 2026 by honoring all the blood, sweat, and tears that got us here today. And let’s stay committed to fighting for workers’ rights as a united front. We got this. ✊

a graphic showcasing dark and light purple ray beams in the background. Black font shows the phrase “MAY DAY” and “Dignity for workers” shaped into a flag. It’s next to a flag pole illustration in honor of International Workers Day 2026: May 1, 2026. Around the graphic is yellow font bordering each side, saying “Families over billionaires” repeated. In the bottom left hand corner is a gold 1199SEIU logo. Happy May Day!

if u were to ask us what power looked like, we’d say it’s UNION WOMEN IN SOLIDARITY ✊💜😌 Happy Womens' History Month 💛 this March and always ✨

The labor movement’s history is complex, but our values are clear: uplift survivors and stand with them. March 31 and every day, we honor survivors of sexual assault: loudly, clearly, and without hesitation.

In just the first six days of the Iran war, the U.S. spent at least $11.3 billion and the real economic cost will likely be far higher. Paying for an unsanctioned war voters didn’t ask for is why you don’t have healthcare btw… It’s not undocumented migrants. It’s not unions. It’s endless wars.

“I have a work permit in the United States, but that is not enough for ICE…just because you have brown skin, they are stopping you.” This is the reality under this admin. ICE is being used as a weapon of terror: pushing parents out of work, destabilizing families, & traumatizing entire communities.

Shout out to the Senators who voted to block unchecked ICE and Border Patrol funding. This is what accountability looks like. No blank checks for ICE. 👏🏼
