Today’s Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to move forward with ending TPS for Haitian and Syrian refugees is devastating for families, workers and communities.

The budget deadline for care funding is June 15th and Sacramento is on the verge of cutting the programs our communities depend on. Call your lawmakers today, 9 AM–5 PM, and tell them CA's caregivers and the people they serve will not tolerate cuts to care funding. ☎️Numbers in the first comment.

Vote by mail helps make democracy real for working people. For caregivers, shift workers, seniors, and rural communities, access matters. We should protect it and expand it.

Workers taking action will decide what comes from this moment in history. Today, we'll be outside. Across the country. Will you join us? #MoreThanMayDay

Our communities are strongest when we stand together. Across race, language, and background, working people know how to fight for one another and build something better together.

When we welcome the world, we should do so in a way that reflects our values: dignity, safety, and respect for working people.

The story of Maria de Jesús Estrada Juárez is about the dignity every immigrant family deserves. It’s about the pain of being torn apart. And it’s about the power of speaking up, standing together, and coming home.

DACA Recipient Returns to California After Judge Rules She Was Unlawfully Deported to Mexico

DACA recipient Maria de Jesús Estrada Juárez has returned to California after a federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to bring her back, ruling that her deportation to Mexico was unlawful. U.S. District Judge Dena Coggins said her deportation was a “flagrant violation” of her DACA protections. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is supposed to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. In February, Estrada Juárez was detained during an interview to obtain permanent residency and deported to Mexico the next day. She has lived in the U.S. for nearly 30 years. DHS has deported dozens of DACA recipients since Trump’s return to office.

This is what happens when we stand together!

California Fast Food Workers Union@cafastfoodunion.org · 6mo ago

Fast food workers from across California organized, went on strike, and won a #FastFoodCouncil. Recently a new report showed why it’s important to keep up the progressive and ensure over half a million California workers don’t fall further behind inflation.

A society that depends on caregivers cannot keep treating them like they do not matter. Care workers must be seen, valued, and paid accordingly.

Security officers in CA are joining our voices to raise industry standards. We’re calling on lawmakers to pass the Stand for Security Act to create safer workplaces for us all. Yes on SB 1203. #StandForSecurity

Workers speaking 57 languages, standing together on one picket line, is a powerful reminder of what solidarity looks like. Different stories. Different journeys. One shared belief: the people who do the work should be treated with dignity and respect.

Our country is at its best when no one is above the law, and every branch of government works to protect those who are most vulnerable. For immigrant families, caregivers, and working communities, those protections matter every day.

This is what solidarity looks like: students showing up for each other, faculty refusing to look away, unions helping build real protection. When communities act together, fear has less room to grow.

When workers organize around how work is changing, that is not a side issue. It is democracy on the job. California should lead by listening to the people who keep the state moving every day.

If care is essential, then caregivers must be respected, protected, and paid like they matter. Because they do.

Airports should be places where people move toward family, work, and home, not places where fear grows in the security line. When everyday travel starts to blur into immigration enforcement, trust breaks down fast.

From the fields to the care economy, immigrant families have always helped build California. They should be able to raise their children without fear.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids

The people standing between students and ICE? Teachers.

With immigration enforcement keeping kids from class, educators are going beyond the curriculum — driving students to school, delivering groceries and even paying rent to support vulnerable families.

Today, we choose solidarity. That means listening when survivors speak, believing them, and standing with them. Every time. No exceptions. No silence.

ICE raids do not make working families safer. They spread fear and disrupt workplaces. Fast food workers are right to demand employers step up, know the law, and protect their people.

As of 2024, child care costs more than rent in 49 states, including California. Without care, families can’t afford to work. The care ecosystem NEEDS to be protected. #CareIsEssential

You can’t build a “strong economy” by making care impossible. Slashing healthcare and public services means fewer caregivers, more burnout, and more people left without the support they need at home. We won’t let them break care. #CareIsEssential
