When tens of millions were threatened with the loss of their healthcare coverage, hundreds of thousands were threatened with the loss of their jobs, and tens of thousands were threatened with the loss of their lives, we fought back!
When we fight we win!
We need to extend existing healthcare worker whistleblower protections to nurses who are asked to violate nurse staffing ratio laws by amending Section 1278.5 of the Health and Safety Code.
On Thursday, March 23rd, SEIU 721 members are taking the day off for a Day of Action to protect jobs and health care.
In response to draconian anti-immigrant measures being enacted nationwide by the Trump Administration, over 400 SEIU Local 721 members joined community activists and concerned families at last night’s Oxnard City Council meeting to demand that authorities make Oxnard a “Safe City” for all people living there.
Your unity and participation are the foundation for a strong workplace that helps provide vital social services for our community.

Because we put the pressure on, Congressman Steve Knight will hold a town hall on Saturday, March 4th at the Chimbole Cultural Center in Palmdale!
In a peaceful demonstration, concerned patients, providers and community members walked from 38th St W and Paddock Way, to Knight’s Lancaster home, and from Hiltscher Park to Royce’s Fullerton home, on Thursday evening, to deliver a clear message to the Congressmen about the harm they have wrought.
Ed Royce and Steve Knight refuse to meet with us, so we have to take our stories to their doorsteps.
Congressmen Royce and Knight voted to defund and repeal our country’s healthcare system without a plan to replace it. This means all of us are going to pay more for fewer benefits and less coverage.
Because Congressmen Royce and Knight voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 5 million in California will lose health coverage, and 334,000 in the Golden State will lose jobs.
With no coverage but the emergency room, every year, 43,956 Americans will die.
Our unity and participation are the foundation for a strong workplace that helps raise up our members and strengthen our community.
