Rocío Sáenz

No matter our background, our struggle is one and our diversity is our strength. Our vote is how we win #MoneyPowerRespect

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!

Today, CA state workers are making history on the picket lines!✊From Sac to LA, @seiu1000.bsky.social members who keep CA running are demanding respect at the bargaining table & pay they can live on in the communities they serve. 2M SEIU members stand with you! ¡La lucha sigue! #unfairpracticestrike

Mass deportation creates an economy of fear that hurts all of us. ❌ Enables workplace exploitation ❌Stunts businesses and revenue creation ❌Drives prices up ❌Kills American jobs Check it out yourself. It's all here: www.aclu.org/publications...

We rely on one another. We are stronger when everyone has the safety, protections, and opportunities to thrive without fear of deportation or family separation. Let's vote: seiu.co/WorkersVote

We can and will make a difference in the midterms. For our families and for the country we all home. seiu.co/WorkersVote

“ICE isn’t looking for criminals. . . . They’re looking for Latinos. Having papers in this country does not protect you.” 506 U.S. citizens have been detained and roughly a dozen deported. That includes children. Vote. Our children are counting on us. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

Working people are leading the way for a better future and making history every day. Solidarity! ✊🏽

Union members understand what working people need most. “The number one thing I hear from my neighbors is how unaffordable life has gotten, and that’s what I’m running to fix." -Bob Brooks, firefighter and candidate for PA district 7 newrepublic.com/article/2162...

Working people are paying more while losing access to vital services under this administration’s cruel immigration policies. A new @aclu.org and @aflcio.org report shows a better path: citizenship can lead to better jobs, higher wages, and prosperity for all. www.aclu.org/publications...

Starting this month, many immigrants will lose access to federally funded Medicaid and health coverage. More people without coverage will hurt all of us, making us a sicker nation. This Nov our health is literally on the ballot. www.nilc.org/articles/wha...

No parent should ever have to choose between getting critical medical care for their child and the risk of being detained or separated from them. www.npr.org/2026/09/17/n...

"Thousands of immigrants across this state are going to lose their Medicaid health care effective October 1st . . . . So we're asking that the governor and the legislature take action to stop this from happening." -Sterling Harders, @seiu775.org president www.krem.com/article/news...

This #LatinoHeritageMonth, I’m reflecting on a lifetime of organizing alongside working people. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and inspired by everyone’s leadership. ¡Sí, se puede!

We should make it easier to keep families together & workers in their jobs. Forcing people who are following the rules to separate from their families and leave the country to obtain a green card will make the process more difficult and hurt families, communities, & our economy.

Guess who I ran into? @seiu775.org member leader Ana Gonzalez, who I just had a virtual cafecito with the other day. Ana is part of a delegation of SEIU members coming together to dream, demand, and disrupt! Check out what she’s up to because Ana has a message for YOU. 💜🥤

The President who cried fraud is at it again. The Affordable Care Act is a lifesaving program shown to give workers the coverage they need to stay healthy. What does the Trump Administration gain from ripping health care from over 700,000 people? www.seiu.org/2026/09/seiu...

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 ☕️

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.

The termination of lawful immigration status for working people affects us all. “We’re seeing people in their 90s that are U.S. citizens who have no immigrant relatives now having to care about immigration because their caregiver is not coming anymore." www.wabe.org/georgias-eld...

Powerful conversation today with @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social & @cbc.house.gov members exploring the intersecting challenges facing Black & Brown communities. We are committed to winning Money. Power. Respect. for all working people. This is Solidarity in Action! #CBCWeek #ALC55 #CBCALC

Great to see states fighting back against this administration's anti-immigrant policies. America is stronger when everyone has the access to the support they need. www.axios.com/local/seattl...

Herlain is a nurse who recently lost Temporary Protected Status (TPS). For Herlain and the countless workers across the country who've been stripped of their lawful immigration status, we will not back down in our fight for a pathway to citizenship. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...

Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski of Miami, home to the largest Haitian population in the U.S., is urging the Trump administration to rethink its decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, pointing to the ongoing violence in Haiti.

Families are struggling to make ends meet, afford care, and put food on the table while $$ billions are poured into ICE/DHS cruelty in all 50 states. New tool from @fwd.us shows how federal funding decisions are hitting critical programs in your state: fwd.us/cuttinghealthcare

It's not always easy to speak out in the face of injustice, but that's exactly what my brother David Huerta did when he witnessed workers in Los Angeles being attacked. This is what true leadership looks like. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

California state workers are united and refuse to be ignored! The state must bargain in good faith with the working people Californians rely on every single day.

We are only 1 signature away from being able to force a vote on the Dream and Promise Act that would provide a path to citizenship for TPS holders, Dreamers, and longtime residents. See if your representative signed on and take action with us today: iamerica.org/dream-and-pr...

DC! $1,073,837,947 👆That's how much taxpayers are spending on mass deportations. Instead of investing in programs that help working families thrive like healthcare, childcare, and more. Check out the deportation calculator for your state: www.epi.org/deportation-...

Working people aren’t waiting around for corporations to suddenly do the right thing. We’re organizing. We’re bargaining. We’re winning. SEIU members across the country are joining together for better pay, stronger benefits, safer workplaces and a real voice on the job. #LaborDay2026

A single mother who came to the U.S. at just 1yo. A healthcare aide who came here at just 9yo. Both are DACA recipients whose lives remain in limbo as they wait for USCIS to decide their applications. Congress must provide a pathway to citizenship now.

A strong economy relies on every single one of us, no matter where we were born. Creating a pathway to citizenship for working people would not only be good for families, but would be a powerful investment in America’s economic future. equitablegrowth.org/economic-res...

When workers take on one of the biggest corporations in the world, they shouldn't have to do it alone. Join us and stand with union baristas – take the pledge and let’s show Starbucks that working people stand with baristas until they win. ➡️ BoycottStarbucks.net

Join me in welcoming Congress back to DC! Demand that your representative sign on to the discharge petition on the Dream and Promise Act. If your representative has already signed on, thank them. If they haven't, urge them to do so today: iamerica.org/dream-and-pr...

From restaurants to home care facilities, Florida is feeling the impacts of the Trump administration's stripping of work permits and deportation protections from essential workers. www.wsj.com/us-news/revo...

At 1199, we know that people’s lives, contributions, and dignity are never temporary. That’s why we oppose the Trump administration’s recent cancellation of TPS for Haitians and Syrians. In response, we’ve created an emergency fund to provide direct support to affected 1199ers and their families.

Safe communities and family values mean being able to drop your kids off at school or go to the hospital without fear of being detained or separated from your family. It's past time for change. Citizenship now.

Caregivers are losing their jobs at no fault of their own. Care facilities are losing certified aides and food service and maintenance workers: “These are all people doing jobs that have a direct impact on the people living here.” Citizenship now. www.forbes.com/sites/howard...

Each Florida taxpayer is contributing $2,907 to mass deportations that separate families. Our tax dollars should fund healthcare, firefighters, and services working people need. See how your dollars could be better spent in your state: www.epi.org/deportation-...

Airports, care facilities, and restaurants are just a few of the businesses that are losing workers with the termination of TPS for Haiti. A pathway to citizenship would allow businesses to add workers back to the economy and keep our families together. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

It’s Heat Week! As the temperature rises, so do we. Working people are standing in solidarity and fighting for safety in our workplaces and communities.

Every working family should be able to afford groceries and healthcare and feel safe in their communities, not live in fear of ICE terrorizing neighborhoods and separating families. SEIU members are getting ready to vote for change!

There is a better way forward and that is a pathway to citizenship. The #DreamAndPromiseAct would benefit not just immigrant families, but all working people. Let’s get it done: iamerica.org/dream-and-pr...

Where would you rather your tax dollars go? Teachers, firefighters, Medicaid, medical care for veterans, paid parental leave, OR mass deportations. Use this deportation calculator to see how your dollars could be better spent in your state: www.epi.org/deportation-...

While the immigration status of our friends and coworkers may be labeled as temporary, their lives are not. Their families, communities, and contributions are permanent. It’s past time their protections were too. #DreamAndPromiseAct now. Take action: iamerica.org/dream-and-pr...

SEIU members are on the frontlines in the fight for liveable wages. “We also see HCA’s profit reports... Our work is how they’re making billions. We are just asking for fair compensation.” -Jody Domineck, pediatric nurse & SEIU 1107 secretary-treasurer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Separating families who have sacrificed their lives to defend and fight for this country is beyond cruel. We won't be silent while families are torn apart. We won't back down on our demand for citizenship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxNB...

We’re losing their tax $, their labor, and their contributions to our communities. But most importantly, we’re losing our loved ones, the parents of American children, our coworkers, & caregivers at no fault of their own. That's why we fight for a path to citizenship now.

Our nation's history on repeat. Dehumanizing Black and brown working people who have built their lives, raised their families, and contributed to our communities for decades is awfully familiar.
