Voting for the first time is Tre, an airport worker and SEIU Texas member! He joined his union siblings for the unveiling of a mural in honor of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was killed by ICE on his way to work. Tre is excited to make his voice heard for the first time. #MoneyPowerRespect

Alex Nilaj leads a food pantry in the Bronx that serves 8,000 people a month. Last week ICE detained him, not for a violent crime, but for being an immigrant. He is now separated from his wife, children, and the community who relies on him. abc7ny.com/post/open-ha...

I had the pleasure of chatting with @32bjseiu.bsky.social member & US military veteran Carl Roesler. Immigrant justice is personal to Carl. We explore what drives him to take action in support of his union siblings ahead of 10/24 Early Voting Day. Watch this episode of Cafecito con Rocío!

Safety is affordable healthcare and pathways to citizenship that keep families together. Vote by Nov 3: iAmerica.org/vote

Our families, friends & neighbors are being detained because of their skin color and the language they speak. Not just immigrants, U.S. citizens too. In fact, 506 U.S. citizens have been detained, including our children. @propublica.org has receipts: projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

"Healthcare needs all of us. . . .This attack is on all families. Make no mistake, an attack on immigrant communities is an attack on healthcare." - Tracey Harrison, @1199seiu.org It’s time to elect leaders who will fight with us for affordable healthcare and build pathways to citizenship.

The pregnant wife of Humphrey Oyoo, a caregiver in Spokane, was detained after going to what the family believed was an asylum interview. With the help of his union’s attorneys, she was released. But the experience has left the entire family traumatized. www.krem.com/article/news...

Every child should have access to the critical care they need, and every parent should be able to get that care for their child without fear. Cruel immigration policies are putting our children's lives in danger and pediatricians are sounding the alarm. www.npr.org/2026/09/17/n...

By making more people ineligible for affordable health care, we’ll see more people relying on emergency rooms. Communities will suffer when the essential workers we depend on to care for our children and aging loved ones can no longer work because of health conditions. www.nilc.org/articles/wha...

Americans overwhelmingly support a path to citizenship for essential immigrant workers & their families, not more barriers. Changes to an outdated immigration system that forces people who are following the rules to leave the country–their families and jobs–to obtain a green card will hurt us all.

Attacks on immigrants are an attack on ALL of us. Immigrants keep our healthcare facilities running. ICE isn’t just ripping our families and communities apart—they’re damaging our already struggling healthcare system. #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs www.healthcareneedsallofus.org

These Miami hospital workers made calls during their lunch break today to tell Congress to support the Dream & Promise Act to give immigrant caregivers a path to citizenship. Follow their lead and call Congress now at 888-558-8718. #healthcareneedsallofus @1199seiu.org

The health of all Americans is in jeopardy. When elected officials cancel TPS, impose travel bans, and fund ICE, they're taking away the doctors, nurses, and care workers who keep our families healthy. Join us 9/24 to say #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs. www.healthcareneedsallofus.org

📍NY- Brookdale Hospital healthcare workers & allies stepped out in solidarity with Haitian TPS holders and all immigrant workers being stripped of their work permits & deportation protections. A path to citizenship would strengthen our healthcare system. #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs! @1199seiu.org

Attacks on immigrant communities are an attack on ALL of us. Immigrants keep our healthcare facilities running. Today, we’re taking action to let our leaders know #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs. @1199seiu www.healthcareneedsallofus.org

The Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants are a threat to the health of ALL working-class families. Our hospitals, nursing homes, and other care facilities would be nothing without immigrants. Today, we’re showing that #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs.

ICE isn’t just ripping our families and communities apart, they’re also damaging our already struggling healthcare system. TODAY, on 9/24, join us as we tell Congress to stop funding these cruel deportations and prioritize funding our health. #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs 📲 healthcareneedsallofus.org

30% of all healthcare positions are filled by immigrants, including thousands of nurses, physicians, and frontline caregivers. We proudly honor their immense contributions and recognize the irreplaceable role they play in keeping New Jersey's healthcare system strong. #HealthcareNeedsAllOfUs

We all rely on healthcare workers when we need care. Today, working people, patients, and residents across the country are taking action to call on Congress to protect the workers we depend on with a pathway to citizenship. Join us today in saying #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs! @1199seiu.org

The administration’s mass delegalization is worsening the healthcare crisis. When TPS is dismantled and programs like DACA are being chipped away piece by piece, it’s the home care workers, nurses, & doctors our communities rely on who are being pushed out of status.

We refuse to be silent when our union siblings and healthcare workers across the nation are being stripped of their lawful immigration status, jeopardizing the care and health of all Americans. On September 24, we say #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs! Join us! www.healthcareneedsallofus.org

I just had such an inspiring chat with @seiu775.org member Ana Rodriguez! From providing care, being a member leader, to getting ready to vote, Ana is fired up to send a clear message on 9/24: #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs! Don’t miss this episode of Cafecito con Rocio ☕️

SEIU stands with Wilber, his family, and immigrant workers across this country who deserve to live and work with dignity and a path to citizenship.

Like every worker, Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez and immigrant workers across this country deserve to go to work without fear and return home safely. We need an immigration system that recognizes their humanity, protects working families, and provides a pathway to citizenship.

Today, Oversight Dems are hearing from family members and witnesses of Americans killed by ICE—Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Renée Good, Johan Guerrero, and Alex Pretti. We’ll be streaming across platforms at 3:30 PM EST.

ICE isn’t just ripping our families and communities apart, they’re also damaging our already struggling healthcare system. On 9/24, join us as we tell Congress to stop funding these cruel deportations and prioritize funding our health. @1199seiu.org #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs

Our own U.S. State Dept. Travel Advisory warns: DO NOT TRAVEL TO HAITI. Yet this administration is willing to put the lives of roughly 300,000 longtime residents in danger after ending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. Citizenship now! iamerica.org/dream-and-pr...

Voters want a lower cost of living and affordable healthcare, not the cruelty of harassing and jailing our immigrant friends, families, and neighbors. See how changes to federal funding are affecting healthcare and other essential services in your state: www.fwd.us/news/healthc...

Service members who sacrifice to protect and serve our country, and their families who support them, deserve that same respect, dignity, and protection in return. #CitizenshipNow

The nearly 200k Salvadorans with TPS have lawfully worked and contributed to the U.S. for at least 25 years. They are essential workers and parents to U.S. citizen children. Their lives are everything but temporary. @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social urge this admin to renew TPS for El Salvador.

Division is their strategy. Solidarity is ours. They know working people– immigrants and U.S.-born– are harder to underpay and exploit when we stand together. This Labor Day, we choose solidarity. #LaborDay2026

“I am not asking for special treatment. . . . I am asking for help navigating a situation where I have done everything required of me, but processing delays are creating a barrier that could significantly impact my family and the Delaware communities I serve.”

“Our businesses are empty. Churches are empty. The streets are empty. People have completely gone underground. . . . It’s quite devastating." - Santra Denis, Haitian American Professionals Coalition www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

People with TPS registered with the government, shared all their personal information, and went through repeated background checks so they could get a work permit and provide for their families. Now, they’re being targeted. #CitizenshipNow ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/08/24/h...

Our families, our dreams, and our futures should not be torn apart. There’s a better way: the Dream and Promise Act would provide longtime residents a path to citizenship. Take action: iAmerica.org/dream-and-promise

SEIU members are outraged by the unjust U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end TPS for Haiti, but we are not defeated. We're calling on Congress to take immediate action to protect TPS holders and create a pathway to citizenship. See my statement: www.seiu.org/2026/08/peop...

We can protect millions of people from the cruel mass deportation machine, keep families together, and protect American jobs. Tell your representative to take action on the #DreamAndPromiseAct: 202-225-3121 www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/dream-a...

BREAKING: Nearly 10,000 UC attending doctors have launched the largest unionization effort in U.S. history with SEIU Doctors United. Together, we're organizing to protect patient care, improve working conditions, and shape the future of medicine. #UnionsForAll

Charges have been dropped against SEIU USWW President David Huerta. A win for workers! We won’t stop speaking up to demand justice for all workers, no matter where they were born. We will not be silenced.

"If our senators do not act quickly, the rest of us will find out the hard way how valuable Haitian TPS-holders are to our economy... our seniors lose their caregivers, our food prices increase and our tourists get frustrated by decreased service." www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-e...

Some good news. A MA district court temporarily blocked the Trump admin from stripping tens of thousands of asylum applicants & TPS holders of their work permits at least until 8/5. This came out of a lawsuit filed by SEIU, @32bjseiu.bsky.social & partner orgs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/...

Josue Pire Hidalgo opens our schools every morning. He's Local 73. He's Chicago. He went to a scheduled ICE appointment — and they took him and his family.

Every family deserves stability. Yet with this administration ending protections for TPS holders and DACA renewal delays, working people are losing their jobs, businesses are losing employees, and our economy will suffer. Tell your representative to take action on the #DreamandPromise Act now!

IMPORTANT: Haitian & Syrian TPS holders remain in status for now. Contact your union rep if your employer attempts to terminate you due to the Supreme Court decision + b/c of the 7/10 date posted on the USCIS website–THIS IS INCORRECT. Find your local: seiu.co/FindMyLocal

There’s a lot of confusion about the end of TPS. Hear directly from an SEIU immigration attorney who explains that Haitian and Syrian TPS holders remain authorized to work for now and what steps you can take to prepare for loss of status. iAmerica.org/how-to-prep-loss-status

IMPORTANT (share widely!): Haitian & Syrian TPS holders remain in status for now. ✅ Contact your union rep if your employer attempts to terminate you due to the Supreme Court decision and because of the 7/10 date posted on the USCIS website–THIS IS INCORRECT. Find your local: seiu.co/FindMyLocal

We’re suing! SEIU and @32bjseiu.bsky.social are joining partners in a lawsuit challenging the Trump admin's efforts to make it harder for immigrants to prove work authorization and for people seeking protection to get work permits. Working people are fighting back in the streets & in the courts!

People with TPS and others who may lose their immigration status should never hand over original personal documents. A reputable immigration attorney will only need copies. Don’t become a victim of fraud. Visit: iAmerica.org/beware-of-scammers

Who will care for our seniors? 13,000 nursing assistants and 8,000 caregivers are just some of the Haitian workforce that will lose work permits & deportation protections after SCOTUS allowed the Trump admin to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti & Syria. www.axios.com/2026/06/29/s...
