📣 Organizing WORKS. Thousands of providers called the Governor and showed up in district offices and at the Capitol to share why the #CABudget would make our jobs harder and ultimately hurt working families. And the state heard us, introducing legislation that responds directly to our asks.

Today’s SCOTUS decision on #BirthrightCitizenship offers a moment of relief, but the truth remains that this administration tried to re-write the Constitution to exclude the babies of immigrants. This case should have never made it this far. My statement: www.seiu.org/2026/06/seiu...
Lots to celebrate in this #CABudget. There’s always more to do, but @seiuca.org is proud of limits it places on large corporate tax breaks which helps to protect CA’s critical programs in the wake of federal #HR1, which gave same corps $900B in tax breaks paid for by cuts to these programs. #UnrigCA

Wealthy corps got $900B in HR1 tax breaks. Paid for by cutting healthcare from Americans, millions earning poverty wages from these same corps. #CaLeg @casendems.bsky.social just proposed a #cabudget that pulls back some of this HR 1 grift. @seiuca.org responds: seiuca.org/press-releas...
