America’s unions are relieved that the charges against @seiu.org USWW President David Huerta have been dropped. The labor movement will continue to stand up and demand justice for our immigrant siblings. We will not be silenced.

Charges have been dropped against SEIU USWW President David Huerta. A win for workers! We won’t stop speaking up to demand justice for all workers, no matter where they were born. We will not be silenced.

With less than 100 days until midterms, we’re reminded that progress has always depended on ordinary people taking collective action. So as we prepare to get out the vote in our communities, let’s honor Dr. King's words not just with reflection, but with action. 1199votes.org

Black women should not have to wait for equal pay. Period. As Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman shared during NBC News’ Black Women’s Equal Pay Day segment, addressing pay inequities begins with valuing Black women’s labor and ensuring they are compensated fairly. (1/2)

three screencaps from an NBC News segment on Black Women’s Equal Pay Day (July 21, 2026). The question is posed by NBC’s news anchors, “What can companies, employers, and the government do to [pay Black women fairly]? Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman answers the question with, “Pay Black women fairly. [Literally], that’s the first step.” Anna is wearing a pink outfit and is seen smiling as she answers the question.

In a recent @nyamnews.bsky.social article, @1199seiu.org warns of a far-reaching negative impact on the New York healthcare system following SCOTUS TPS ruling, as Haitians facing deportation or loss of work authorization make up a substantial part of NYC’s frontline healthcare workers

Honored to stand with community members, Bronx BP Vanessa Gibson, and @1199seiu.org at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in defense of Temporary Protected Status. Our neighbors from Haiti and Syria have built lives, families, and communities here. They deserve dignity, stability, and protection.

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

New York continues to be a beacon during all the other news. Watching these policies get passed and enacted goes a long way in showing the nation that policies that benefit the working class are the way forward! Credits: @nycpsl
