TODAY, we are 100,000+ strong & we aren't backing down. We just introduced a bill for our right to unionize. We are the backbone of this industry. ✅ Fair Pay is a right. ✅ Safety is a right. ✅ A Union is a NECESSITY. We have the power to make this happen. See you at the Statehouse.✊

Rather than respecting the right of its doctors to advocate for better working conditions and care for patients, University Hospitals in Ohio chose to fire pediatricians Drs. Beene and Fouts-Fowler for speaking up. University Hospitals must immediately reinstate these doctors.

NOW: 600 Allina doctors, physicians’ assistants, and nurse practitioners who are members of Doctors Council - SEIU are on a 1-day ULP strike. The union hoped they could avoid a strike, but Allina continues to propose cuts and changes that would be bad for providers and patients.

Like the Freedom Riders before us, workers of all races & places bussed across the US to Louisiana's detention alley-epicenter for immigrant detention. Meanwhile, workers were out at Home Depots sharing know your rights information with all. Workers will NOT be divided! #SolidaritySummer

🚨 They’re arresting people in wheelchairs - disabled Americans - just for protesting Medicaid cuts. If we don’t show up now, Congress will slash the care they need to survive. Don’t look away. Speak out. Share their fight. #MedicaidSavesOurLives
