📣 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

Vance and Oz are attacking programs that keep seniors and people with disabilities OUT of nursing homes. Pretty sick.
Why has IHSS grown in California? It's simple:
Because California is keeping more people OUT of far more expensive nursing homes!
IHSS: $30K/year
Nursing home: $137K/year
SAVING TAXPAYERS: $107K per person

I wonder at what point we will stop calling it “deportation agenda” & start calling it “dictator agenda?” This is no longer (maybe never was) about “securing our borders.” It feels dishonest to keep calling it that because POTUS is calling it that. He is lying & the press shouldn’t play along.
