Voters young and old, Latino, Black, API, and working-class, all saying the same thing: make life affordable & protect our care.
Congratulations to Governor-elect @XavierBecerra. The 750,000 SEIU CA members are ready to help deliver on these promises.

Nothing scarier than not having your vote counted. Make sure you turn in your ballot at an early voting center or ballot drop box by November 3!
1,300 Nurses will soon vote to form their union with @seiu121RN. I’m proud to support these RNs who are fighting for a strong voice both at the bedside and the bargaining table to protect quality care for the Santa Barbara and Goleta communities for years to come. Join me in signing their community support petition at cottagenursesunion.org
Through our tears and sadness, we carry forward, knowing the best way to honor Dolores Huerta is to approach every day as she did, where ‘every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.'
¡Sí, se puede!
SEIU CA members celebrate Governor Newsom's signing of SB 1246 (Cortese) into law, to protect public safety and safeguard public services by requiring AV companies to be accountable for clearing stalled autonomous vehicles.

Accountability is one part of a bigger fight: dismantling the systems that let oppression, violence, and inequity persist in the first place. That work doesn't stop. Eleven elected SEIU California leaders have issued the following statement:

This is what worker power looks like. Ten years ago, gig drivers had no path to a union. They organized like never before: in parking lots, coffee shops, text and WhatsApp, and in the Capitol. And they built the single largest rideshare union in the world. A win for all of us.
BREAKING: California just confirmed: California Gig Workers Union has the driver support to represent Uber and Lyft drivers across the entire state. That makes CGWU the largest union of rideshare drivers ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
More than a decade of organizing and today tens of thousands of drivers can celebrate history.
14 months after being tackled and pepper sprayed for observing an ICE raid, David Huerta is vindicated.
This attempt to weaponize the justice system against anyone who dares to defend immigrant workers collapsed because the truth, and the videos, don't lie.
To every worker, every immigrant, everyone who’s ever been targeted: now is the time to keep organizing.
Dr. Eva Gillis-Buck tragically miscarried during her surgical residency at UCSF. It took a year and a fertility specialist before she finally conceived her daughter, Mila.
What made it possible? A fertility benefit her union @cirseiu won at the bargaining table.
Now UC wants to gut it. The $30,000 that covered egg freezing, IVF, adoption, and postpartum care would be slashed.
It's cruel to take this remedy for a devistating occupational hazard. Surgeons face infertility at three times the rate of everyone else, because training consumes their entire reproductive window.
UC can afford to do right by the people who care for us. UCSF Health cleared an $809 MILLION surplus last year.
Read the story & stand with residents at the table.

50+ organizations. Thousands of workers. And the courage of @CAgovernor, Pro Tem Limón, Speaker Rivas, and Budget Chairs Laird & Gabriel. One goal: making the largest corporations pay their fair share when their workers rely on Medi-Cal. The freeride's days are numbered. #UnRigCA #SB177
35 years in this country. No record. A wife and three sons. Workers are not the enemy. California says his name: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. YA BASTA.
Thank you, @CAgovernor! The Fair Share from Big Corporations Act creates a pathway to make the largest corporations pay their share of the health care costs that working Californians are covering for them. That's a $36B bill taxpayers shouldn't carry.
This movement is just getting started. #UnRigCA

SEIU California retweeted
Proud to stand with @SEIUCalifornia and @HealthAccess to sign the Fair Share from Big Corporations Act.
Our work is about increasing affordability, representing working Californians statewide, and ensuring that the largest corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
ALT Governor Newsom signs the Fair Share from Big Corporations Act, protecting families and ensuring that big businesses pay their fair share of the cost of their employee health benefits.
Workers did this.
Today's #CAbudget agreement is a historic step forward — Gov. @GavinNewsom and the #CALeg have committed to making corporations pay their fair share.

A rigged #SCOTUS just bent the knee to Trump and Stephen Miller, tossing nearly 40 years of bipartisan support for #TPS. TPS holders are our doctors, nurses, janitors, caregivers, airport workers & rideshare drivers. They ARE the best of America.
Now 350,000 Haitians & Syrians face deportation to violence and death. Shameful.

Unrig CA is pushing all the way to the finish line to change the rules in CA. And this year is only the start.

On top of an already busy news day at the Capitol, there’s more this evening:
➡️Tonight, assemblymembers are set to vote on the budget agreement reached by @AsmDems and @CASenateDems.
➡️Meanwhile, demonstrators are rallying outside the Capitol in support of the Democrat-backed “Fair Share From Big Corporations” proposal, which would require some of California’s largest corporations that do not already provide health coverage for certain workers to help pay into Medi-Cal costs.
Supporters say the plan will generate at least $5 billion in state revenue. @CASenReps argue it could hurt major employers and cost jobs.
