Every time a worker finds their voice, our movement gets stronger. That's how we build the future of care. One leader, one workplace, one victory at a time.

I've spent years standing alongside caregivers and the people they support, and I know there's no substitute for being able to receive care at home. That is the dignity IHSS care funding protects.

Statement from SEIU Local 2015 President Arnulfo De La Cruz on the recent U.S. DOJ Opinion Undermining ADA Integration Mandate - SEIU2015

“We are deeply alarmed by this opinion, which is a blueprint for abandoning our family members and loved ones with disabilities. Twenty-seven years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C. affirmed that people with disabilities have the right to live and receive care in their communities instead of being forced into institutions. […]

One of the biggest lessons I've learned in the labor movement? The boss always wants you to believe you're alone. You're not and we’re stronger together.

The promise of America should belong to everyone who helps build it. Every worker deserves dignity, respect, access to universal healthcare, and a fair chance to build a good life. We're still fighting to make that promise real in America. #AMERICA250

Millions of families are learning what caregivers already know: care is 24/7 work. It requires love, labor, sacrifice and stress. We need a system that values care workers, supports families, and treats care like an essential service for the betterment of our communities.

As baby boomers turn 80, caregiving is the unexpected job more Americans face

Care work is essential, yet it remains deeply underpaid and undervalued. The undervaluing of care work is no accident. it’s a continuation of the misogyny that permeates our society and workforce, dismissing jobs dominated by women. It must stop!

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.

#Juneteenth celebrates the power of people who demanded more than promises. They demanded dignity, opportunity, and control over their own futures. Working people are still carrying that legacy forward.

🚨 UNION VICTORY 🚨: More than 400 frontline healthcare workers across 25+ Planned Parenthood Mar Monte clinics — from Bakersfield to Oakland, Reno, NV and San Jose to Santa Cruz, officially voted by supermajority to form their union with SEIU Local 521. ✊🏽💜 #UnionsForAll

We’re calling lawmakers in Sacramento today (June 10) from 9-5PM to let them know that Care is a California Value! We're demanding lawmakers: ❌ REJECT the Medi-Cal asset limit 💰 RESTORE WQIP for nursing home workers 📋 FUND the IHSS training proposal 📞Numbers in the first comment.

When workers are pushed to their limits - our labor union - built by working-class people, comes together to organize and turn that frustration into real change for all of us. That is how we win dignity and respect.

Attacks on Black voters are attacks on all of us, and SEIU 2015 stands to protect everyone’s right to vote. When we unite, no matter our race and fight together, we win. That has always been true and it is true right now.

Joseph Bryant | SEIU Executive Vice President@josephbryantseiu.bsky.social · 4mo ago

This decision is an attack on Black voters & on the promise of equal representation. It is a deliberate attempt to weaken our power because when we vote together, we change outcomes! Courts do not have the final word, people do. Our vote matters, our voices matter—we will organize, mobilize, & win.

The future of care has to be built around dignity. That means investing in workers, protecting consumers, and rejecting cuts that put lives at risk.

There is nothing sustainable about a workforce where people are underpaid, unsupported, and losing faith that things will get better. Working people need better wages, real benefits, respect on the job, and the power to shape the conditions under which they work. That is how we change lives.

U.S. Worker Thriving Declines as Job Market Pessimism Grows

We already spend more on the military than the next 9 countries combined… and Trump wants to push it even higher. At the same time, he wants to slash the programs our families, seniors, and communities count on. This is not about what we can afford. It is about who they are choosing to invest in.

For far too many workers, one illness, one pregnancy, or one family emergency can mean lost wages or lost jobs. No one should have to choose between keeping a paycheck and caring for their family. But that is exactly what happens every day. Care is essential. Workers are essential.
