Carlos Montoya died fleeing an ICE raid in Monrovia. He came to the U.S. to build a future for his daughters & grandchildren.

His daughter Ana, speaking from Guatemala, reminds us: no one should live in fear for seeking dignity.

🔥 The Heat is On. Drink water. Take your break. Know your rights at work.

High temps can be dangerous, especially for outdoor & domestic workers.

I rely on Medicaid to live. Trump's cuts make survival a privilege instead of a right. This isn't about Medicaid fraud prevention. It's about making the process for people like me so exhausting that we give up or get left behind.

Cuts to Medicaid will quite simply cost lives. Read more about what it means from those who rely on it for care from our HiH member, @steveway.bsky.social 👇 #CareNotCuts www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

From July 15–17 we trained, learned, and strengthened our power to defend workers’ rights and recover what’s been stolen. Desde formularios de reclamación hasta alianzas legales: cada paso fue hacia la dignidad y la organización que perdura. 🌱

This is how we win. Así es como nos levantamos.

ICE now has a budget larger than that of most countries’ militaries. Instead of supporting American families, the Trump administration is pouring billions into terrorizing them.

L.A. will provide cash assistance to immigrants affected by raids Mayor Karen Bass announced a plan Friday to provide direct cash assistance to people who have been affected by the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration raids.

“You have people who don’t want to leave their homes, who are not going to work, and they are in need of cash”

Domestic workers organized some of the earliest unions, and Black women who knew the importance of workers’ rights stepped up to lead them. We continue to fight for fair wages & health and safety protections, and we honor all the Black domestic women leaders, fierce and powerful, who led the way.

Remember:
❌You are NOT required to work an evacuation zone.

😷 Your EMPLOYER is required to protect you from wildfire smoke.

Fires like these, and countless others, impact workers who are asked to stay behind in evacuation zones or asked to clean-up ash and soot without proper safety protection and PPE. As well as care workers forced to evacuate their clients from facilities and homes under the threat of raging fires. 🏠
