This week's jobs report confirms what people know: the Trump economy is making life harder for everyday people--harder to find a job and harder to afford basic necessities.

His Big Ugly Bill will make life exponentially worse for all of us, and the rich richer. We need to immediately reverse the cuts that Republicans enacted, stop the attacks on immigrants, and invest in the supports that all families need to thrive.

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.
6 Jun 2025
Letâs 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.

Our co-pres, Lorella Praeli, gets it. Child care is unaffordable and our access is under threat.
Thatâs why we launched #DayWithoutChildCareâto show what happens when care workers step away.

Care work is essentialâand itâs under attack. At the Day Without Child Care virtual rally with @CommChangeAct, I stood with parents, providers, and advocates to say: invest in care, donât cut it.
Every child deserves a strong start. Every caregiver deserves dignity.

Today I joined a Day Without Childcare hosted by @SPACEsInAction. The Pay Equity Fund is a critical investment in the Districtâs littlest residents and I am thankful to Mayor Bowserâs promise to forgo cuts to it in the FY26 budget.

Today is the Day Without Child Care. Families, providers, educators, and advocates across Wisconsin are calling attention to the urgent crisis in our child care system. Without real investment, working parents are left stranded and kids lose out on the safe, nurturing care they deserve. Itâs time to prioritize child care and support the backbone of our economy.

This morning, I stood with parents, caregivers, kids, and community members in Waunakee as we marked the #DayWithoutChildCare. Every family deserves quality, affordable child care, and Iâm proud to support our stateâs dedicated providers. I thank you all for your hard work!
ALT State Senator Dianne Hesselbein kneels to take a photo with an advocate and a group of children at the Day Without Childcare event in Waunakee. Senator Hesselbein is smiling and holding a painting made with colorful handprints written over in black text that says "invest in us." Behind them is a yellow banner proclaiming the Day Without Child Care.

They are also joined by Heather Murray, an advocate and preschool owner. Each of the elected officials are holding a painting with colorful handprints and black text that reads "invest in us." There are also small bubbles floating in the air, slightly distracting everyone and causing them to laugh.

I joined @domesticworkers for Day Without Childcare with my friend and Durham Co. Commissioner @NidaAllam.
Child care is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It allows parents to work, gives children a strong start in life, and strengthens our economy. #ralpol #wakepol

Childcare is one of the biggest cost burdens for American familiesâright up there with rent or mortgage payments.
But it doesn't have to be a luxury.
Progressives will keep fighting for universal child care. Congress should fund families, NOT billionaires. #DayWithoutChildCare

This May 12, for #DayWithoutChildCare, weâre raising our voices across NC because the system is in crisisâand families like ours are paying the price.
Without affordable childcare, we canât work. And without work, we canât provide. Thatâs the reality for too many of us.
