Secretary Treasurer of Service Employees International Union, Fighting for immigration reform and workers rights
People are losing their jobs through no fault of their own, and the U.S. is losing $$!

Why? Trump ended the 540-day automatic work-permit extensions for people who filed to renew on time.

@SEIU submitted a public comment urging DHS to reinstate this.

Rep Grijalva's responsibility is to ask questions and stand up for the community — not be punished for it, let alone pepper-sprayed by ICE. When violence replaces due process, it puts everyone’s basic rights at risk. Accountability is a must. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Rep. Adelita Grijalva says she was 'sprayed in the face' during ICE confrontation
Grijalva said that she identified herself as a member of Congress and saw "people directly sprayed," including press and members of her staff.

Join SEIU members at the Art Basel in Miami this Saturday! Art reflects truth, and the reality is that immigrant workers play a crucial role across all sectors of the economy. #BraveOfUS

Somalis are essential workers and union leaders in MN and across the nation, strengthening our communities, workplaces, and economy. A threat to one of us is a threat to all of us. Working people have each other’s backs and refuse to be intimidated.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

When we’re more welcoming, everyone thrives—families, communities, and our economy. That’s why we’re fighting for policies that let people already working and raising families here fix their immigration status, not tear them apart.

One too many SEIU members have been ripped away from their communities on ICE Air. No company should profit from cruelty. It’s time to hold those charter companies accountable. #DeICEflights

Rather than provide permanent protections for working people, this administration has chosen cruelty once again — and right before a holiday weekend. We won’t back down. #TPSjustice
JUST IN: DHS announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. This cruel move intends to strip hundreds of thousands of Haitians—who work, pay taxes, and are raising American families—of their work permits and protections. #TPSjustice

This movement is bigger than any one person. The charges against @seiuca.org & SEIU USWW president @davidhuerta-seiu.bsky.social are baseless-- an attempt to quiet anyone who speaks out. Together, we will keep pushing and demanding justice for all families. #StandWithDavid

When you strike, WE strike!✊

Every worker deserves a voice and a seat at the table.

While this administration has declared open war on working families, immigrants, and basic human dignity, we stand UP for workers and justice. That’s why I stand with my brother @davidhuerta-seiu.bsky.social and will work until every family is safe from fear. #JusticeForDavid

David Huerta is back in court TOMORROW because this administration thinks attacking one labor leader will silence millions. They’re wrong. We don’t bend, we don’t bow, and we stand with David today and always. Justice for David. ✊🏿
