We’re here with our partners at #FamiliesFirst New Jersey to say #CareNotCuts. Cutting Medicaid, care, and food all to serve billionaires is a betrayal of families everywhere.

Protect Medicaid Vigil Join the Protect Medicaid Vigil to stand up for essential healthcare services. Learn more about our events, partners, and how you can take action.

For 60 years, working families have relied on Medicaid to get care and get by. Congress and the White House just cut it by $1T.

@caringacross.org is kicking off a 60-Hour Vigil for Medicaid online & in D.C. - starting TONIGHT at 9PM ET. Join us for 60 hours of community, storytelling, and action.

Thrilled that Katie Bethell is joining @moveon.org as their next executive director! She’s a lifelong fighter for working families and I’m so excited to see how MoveOn will continue to grow and thrive under her leadership.

Congratulations, Katie ❤️

"MoveOn gives voice to nearly 10 million people who care deeply about this country and the health, security, and happiness of everyone who calls it home. The road to winning and taking back power in 2026 and beyond is all about growing and inspiring our base by mobilizing and organizing behind leaders with a positive vision for making life affordable for working families."

Today, MoveOn announces that Katie Bethell, a nationally recognized advocate for working families, is joining us as the next executive director! We welcome the people-first champion taking the helm at a time when President Trump and Republicans are choosing billionaires over everyday people.

Congress and the White House just slashed Medicaid, food stamps & school lunch. They’re using the savings to enrich the rich and separate immigrant families.

On July 26th, we're fighting back. Put #FamiliesFirst and find an action in your community: www.familiesfirstnow.org #CareNotCuts

Call Congress and Say No Cuts to Medicaid!

Medicaid cuts mean less money for roads, schools, housing, everything working families need. Congress is trying to pass this bill tomorrow. Call your representatives in the House NOW to say NO to Medicaid cuts: go.caringacross.org/a/call-congr...

Call Congress and Say No Cuts to Medicaid!

50 Senators just voted to take away healthcare from 17 million Americans. This bill makes it even harder for us to afford basic needs - gutting our care, food assistance, and for what? To enrich the rich and pay for more abuse of immigrants. Whether you’re on Medicaid or not, this impacts all of us.

Tonight at 4:15pm PT / 7:15pm ET! Join @whipkclark.bsky.social @domesticworkers.bsky.social @caringacross.org and our #CareCantWait partners for a Virtual Rally to stop cuts to our care.

🏡They want their families to be healthy, happy, and financially secure.
💰They’re worried about how much it costs.
✨ Upwards of 90% (!!) support policies like paid leave, affordable childcare, and affordable long-term care that will make it easier for them to care for the people they love.

🧵 @paidleaveforall.bsky.social Community Change & @caringacross.org just asked men across America how they feel about masculinity, the state of our country, and the family policy solutions they most believe in.

The answer?

NEW POLL finds men in America are still hopeful, they link taking care of their families with their masculinity, they want government solutions—and more than 90% of them want paid leave and affordable care policies. #MenCare #PaidLeaveForAll globalstrategygroup.com/wp-content/u...

NEW survey on men in America.

How immigration raids in California reverberate across the labor market Undocumented workers form a key part of the economy in a number of industries.

Important story in @npr.org @marketplace.org today about the impact of immigration raids on CA’s - and America’s - economy.

Care is “an all-hands-on-deck situation where we’re gonna need a strong immigrant workforce and non-immigrant [workforce],” Poo said.

'Unfathomable': Seth Rogen Torches Lawmakers Threatening Cuts to Medicaid Seth Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller Rogen, are raising alarms about health care cuts in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

“Millions of low income families, families of people with disabilities, families that have older adults in them, are facing this struggle every day...  And that is why it is so unfathomable that … legislatures are making massive cuts to Medicaid as we speak.”

I'm so grateful David Huerta is free and grateful for a powerful worker movement that mobilized to demand his release. But David should have never been detained. Families are still being torn apart. And our communities are still being targeted. We won’t rest until we are all safe.

I couldn’t be prouder of the way the labor movement has come together today. We’ve shown the power of the union: if you come for one of us, you come for all of us.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

5/ In sum: mass deportations won’t fix job degradation. If WHD and its state counterparts had the funding and tools to keep up with a growing workforce and widespread violations, millions of workers would benefit.

1/ Want to help US workers? Enforce labor law, not deportation orders. Undocumented immigrants are not the problem. The problem is the govt’s inadequate response to structural shifts in the economy that undermine worker power. NEW REPORT: smlr.rutgers.edu/sites/defaul...

Important for people to appreciate that work requirements for #Medicaid unfairly punish vulnerable people, including those with disabilities or unstable jobs. They increase bureaucracy, worsen health, & ultimately raise costs.

✅ Investing in access to care saves lives & is more cost-effective.

What Babies Need from Congress Right Now Boteach: Babies can’t speak for themselves, so families and early childhood advocates are demanding that Congress to invest in our youngest kids.

In my first op-ed for @zerotothree.bsky.social

I underscore that Medicaid, SNAP, and other supports for families “are lifelines that give kids a solid start, esp families who face extra hurdles.”

The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.
