SEIU California

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: seiuca.org/press-releas...

Requiring the state to study and report on every major tax break is common sense transparency that working families deserve. We’re asking the #CaLeg to vote AYE on #SB1349. #UnRigCA @wearecta.bsky.social @senatorgonzalez.bsky.social

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. Today tens of thousands of drivers can celebrate history.

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

Xavier Becerra is the son of immigrants and comes from a union family. he knows what it takes to build the California dream. The 750,000 members of SEIU California are proud to endorse @xavierbecerra.bsky.social for Governor to stand up to Trump and #UnRigCA! seiuca.org/press-releas...

The votes are still coming in, but our members already know: when working people knock doors and show up, we win. We've knocked out at least TWO anti-worker candidates, and we're just getting started. This is what worker power looks like. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The Assembly budget understands that California needs real revenue, and corporations freeloading off our communities have to pay their fair share. But with #HR1 threatening devastating cuts, we need urgency NOW – Working families can't wait. #CABudget seiuca.org/press-releas...

"I fear that people are gonna die from these cuts." This mother of two special needs children shares how #HR1 cuts to Medi-Cal put working families, patients, and workers at risk while the richest corporations get tax breaks. The CA Senate budget plan is fighting to protect them. #UnRigCA

Thanks to @casendems.bsky.social @assemblydems.bsky.social @senatorcervantes.bsky.social, @buffywicks.bsky.social, @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social & Monique Limon! 💜

#CALeg continues to lead the nation in supporting working people! HUGE labor bills pass out of approps – Security officers, gig drivers, child care providers, court workers and others are celebrating wins!

The #SCOTUS decision in Louisiana v. Callais guts the Voting Rights Act to favor the wealthy few and silence communities of color. They attack our vote because they fear our power to win healthcare & housing and to hold them accountable. Remember: Voters pick leaders & We won't be silenced.

The Trump administration wants to punish disabled adults for living at home with their families, now targeting almost 400,000 disabled people who could have their support cut or outright eliminated. Your daily reminder that the cruelty is the point. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NEW from @BerkeleyIGS: CA voters overwhelmingly agree protecting voting rights MUST be a top priority for our state’s leaders. 🗳️ 89% say democracy is under attack / being tested 🗳️ 79% fear voter suppression 🗳️ 86% support strengthening voting rights Read more here ⬇️ escholarship.org/uc/item/79c0...

SEIU CA has suspended our campaign activities and expenditures following extremely troubling allegations of sexual misconduct by Eric Swalwell. Our leaders will be meeting and will proceed on next steps through the democratic process laid out in our bylaws.

BIG NEWS: Welcome to our new President – @arnulfoseiu2015.bsky.social A third-generation labor leader and lifelong champion for working people, Arnulfo will lead 750,000 SEIU members across CA as we fight for dignity, justice, and a democracy that works for all of us. seiuca.org/press-releas...

2 in 3 CA voters believe our democracy is under attack and voice overwhelming support for stronger state laws to protect voting rights. We’re proud to join the CA Democracy Partnership in supporting the CA Voting Rights Act of 2026. www.latimes.com/california/s...

We join the California Democracy Partnership and @senatorcervantes.bsky.social in supporting the California Voting Rights Act of 2026. We’re ending voter suppression, expanding language access, and ensuring every worker’s voice is heard. www.cademocracypartnership.org/CVRA26

Autonomous vehicles are here. Safety rules should be too. California drivers and workers rallied today for #SB1246 – demanding accountability when robotaxis fail. seiuca.org/press-releas...

4/5 Resources for survivors of sexual assault: doloreshuerta.org/sexual_assau... yabastacenter.org www.valor.us/category/adv...

3/5 Like the janitors who found their power in the Ya Basta movement after facing rape on the night shift, Dolores and other survivors show us that breaking the silence and embracing each other in solidarity are how we survive - and how we leave a safer world to our daughters.

2/5 We honor their courage and pledge our support to these women and all survivors of rape, assault, and exploitation.  No movement is about one person, but the strength that comes from standing together.

1/5 SEIU members are a majority women of color. We are workers, immigrants, and mothers.  Today we saw our sister Dolores Huerta and other incredible and brave survivors tell their stories despite the significant pain it caused them and their families.

The 750,000 members of SEIU California are proud to endorse @ericswalwell.bsky.social for Governor – someone who will stand up against Trump's MAGA agenda, and fight alongside workers to #UnRigCA. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Our system is rigged in favor of wealthy corporations and the people who run and own them. But rules that are rigged can be UN-rigged. Today we are launching a multi-year campaign to make corporations and their owners pay their fair share. #UnRigCA seiuca.org/press-releas...

Telework saves money, cuts pollution, and recruits the workforce Californians rely on. #AB1729 by @votealexlee.bsky.social brings transparency, real data on costs, & accountability for RTO mandates. We stand with @seiu1000.bsky.social for smart, equitable state policy that respects state workers.

If there’s one thing we know about multi-national corporations it’s this: They will always find a new way to put profits over people. Whether it’s poverty wages that force workers onto the safety net or shuffling profits to cheat our schools – if there’s a scheme, they’ll use it. #UnrigCA #AB1790

This shows exactly what working people in California already know — the system is rigged. Millions of us struggle with rent, groceries, child care & health care while giant corporations walk away paying less in state taxes than a school bus driver or nurse. It is the definition of a rigged economy.

We are united, we are organized, and we will defend our communities against these baseless threats.

#Minneapolis proved that 3k agents and sub zero temps can't break the working class, and that terrified them. So they executed an observer in broad daylight. Proof that they don't care who you are – only that you you obey. The world is watching, the movement has your back, and we will prevail.

The 750,000 members of SEIU California members are proud to endorse Anthony Rendon for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, because we need leaders who don't just talk about justice, they fight alongside us for it. seiuca.org/press-releas...

A federal judge saw right through the Trump administration’s baseless, racist funding freeze for family #ChildCare providers and BLOCKED it. We will continue to fight this targeted political attack on the providers and communities who rely on these essential services. apnews.com/article/chil...

This wasn't about "fraud." This was a targeted, racist attack on working families in Blue states. They came for our child care providers. They came for our neighbors. And they got shut down. Again. If Trump wants to keep playing games with people’s livelihoods we are ready to go.

Working people have partnered with @governor.ca.gov to build a CA that works for everyone. The budget proposal protects vital services: Home Care, Healthcare, Education. But the fight isn’t over. We see the structural deficit. We see the corporate greed. We’re ready. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Trump’s attacks on hard-working women of color who provide child care are attacks on all working people. We know safe & reliable care empowers workers to earn a living and provide for their families. We support AG Rob Bonta challenging these attacks on workers. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump is taking food from families, diapers from babies, and child care from parents — on purpose. This funding freeze is broad, baseless, and illegal. seiuca.org/press-releas...

David Huerta was tackled, pepper-sprayed & detained by ICE earlier this year. Yesterday, he testified before Congress to demand justice for workers and families targeted by abusive raids. We fight until every community is safe. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Wow! Senators Kelly and Slotkin and Reps DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow encouraging members of the military to defy illegal orders!

California voters said Not on Our Watch. SEIU members powered millions of YES votes to pass #Prop50 – stopping Trump’s rigged maps and protecting our democracy. 15K volunteers. 1.2M texts. One message to MAGA extremists: California fights back. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Federal election monitors are coming to California after MAGA Republicans demanded “oversight.” Make NO mistake, our elections are safe and secure. What they fear isn’t fraud – it’s working people voting. #YesOnProp50 apnews.com/article/doj-...

BREAKING: Gig drivers WON. Governor GavinNewsom just signed #AB1340 into law – giving 800,000+ drivers the right to form a union and bargain with Uber & Lyft. Worker power made this victory happen.💜

Trump’s “compact” is nothing less than a hostile takeover of America’s universities – forcing MAGA ideology on every campus. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social made it clear: If any California university signs this deal, they instantly lose billions in state funding – including Cal Grants.

When J.D. Vance isn't busy vacationing overseas, he's LARPing as Charlie Kirk while the Trump administration effectively claims unions, immigrants, & liberal orgs are all part of a “terror network.” This isn’t grief. It’s a cheap excuse to criminalize dissent. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Every worker has rights – no matter where they’re from or what they look like. #SB294 makes sure workers KNOW those rights so no boss can take them away. Thank you Assm. Member Reyes for ensuring workers can defend themselves from exploitation. seiuca.org/press-releas...

First Texas. Now Missouri. Kansas City voters erased. Black voters’ power diluted. This is what Trump’s gerrymander agenda looks like in Missouri. They won't stop until they've silenced every critic and nullified every voter. #YesOn50 is our defense. abcnews.go.com/Politics/mis...

No one should fear “secret police” in California. Or literally ANYWHERE ELSE. #SB627 (@scottwiener.bsky.social) says – officers must be visible & identifiable when interacting with the public. Transparency = trust.

Workers who care for our elders & people with disabilities know the truth – many are living on the edge of disaster. That’s what #AB246 (@ib2real.bsky.social 💜) does: protect seniors & people with disabilities from eviction when federal payments are disrupted. seiuca.org/press-releas...

ICE continues to spread fear in our neighborhoods – invading homes, courthouses, even hospitals. We’ve seen parents torn from children, workers brutalized, & communities under siege. That’s why we stand with Sen. Durazo to keep our data + communities safe & secure. #SB580 seiuca.org/press-releas...
