Let me clarify what “the bottom 60%” means… It means the majority. The majority of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life.”

The federal minimum wage is $7.25. The cost of Panera Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich is $10.29. It is not a radical idea that an hour of work is worth more than a turkey sandwich.

Elon Musk’s workers report injury at a 31% higher rate than industry average. That wealth was built on sidestepping labor laws and the exploitation of his workers.

One job should be enough. Enough to live. Enough to eat. Enough to rest. Enough to thrive.

Immigrants aren't “taking resources.” Billionaires are hoarding them.

SEIU is proud to endorse VP @KamalaHarris as our nominee for President. As a woman of color & the child of immigrant parents, VP Harris is not only a historic choice to lead the ticket – she is prepared. She brings decades of public service fighting for workers across industries.

Today a Senate full of many millionaires voted to keep 32M in poverty when they opposed @SenSanders' amendment. Working people elected this administration & Congress to #RaiseTheWage to $15. We will hold accountable those who hold us back, regardless of party. 1/6

70 is the new 50?? Y’all… how about a decent wage is the new minimum wage.

The IMF is encouraging people to work into their 70s for the sake of the economy. It's time to make the rich contribute their share instead of having people spend more and more of their lives working.

Take a look: millions of Americans who work for @McDonalds and other hugely powerful corporations won't get paid if they get sick. (graphic from @nytimes)

Well-said, @staceyabrams! "We vote not because of the act of casting a ballot. We vote for the policies that follow after, for the ways that our gov't helps make our lives, if not easier, then at least improves our access to increasing our opportunity."
Stacey Abrams: Voting rights not a question of partisanship, but of 'peopleship'

Like VP Harris, I've seen the importance of care workers in my life. We need a leader who supports care workers & those who need care. That's why I'm all in for @KamalaHarris & proud the Care Can't Wait Act coalition is the 1st out w/ an IE ad supporting her. #CareGiversForKamala

Born and raised in LA County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him. seiuca.org/press-releases…

"You shouldn't have to wipe out all your savings to qualify for Medicaid to be able to get support to hire someone to help you cook for a parent or help them put on a sweater." And the people who do care work shouldn't live in poverty. Kamala Harris gets it. Vote accordingly.
