SACRAMENTO LOBBY DAY: AB 288 PROTECT CALIFORNIA'S RIGHT TO ORGANIZE!
Trump & the GOP are trying to destroy unions—firing NLRB members, indefinitely detaining union organizers, stripping worker rights, all so billionaires can hoard more of our money and power. We won't let them.

LOBBY DAY: AB 283 CA Caregivers Collective Bargaining
Caregivers Support Us All, Now It’s YOUR Time to Support Them - SOLIDARITY ACTION to PASS AB 283 - Collective Bargaining for CA Caregivers
Imagine working 24/7 to keep someone’s loved one alive—and still struggling to pay rent. That’s the reality for 829,000 IHSS caregivers across CA. AB 283 is simple: It lets all home care workers negotiate together for living wages, benefits, and respect. (BONUS: AB 283 saves CA money!)
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE:
✅ 1 in 5 Californians will need care as they age—will workers exist to help them?
✅ Your parents. Your neighbors. YOU. This is about ALL of us.
✅ Right now, caregivers burn out & quit. AB 283 helps stop this retention crisis as our elderly population dramatically increases, demanding more and more caregivers.

CTA’s Statewide Action: FIGHT FOR SCHOOLS!
We won't stand by while the attacks from the Trump/Musk administration threaten resources for our students. Our union has the power to demand that Congress protect funding for students and the Department of Education programs we all rely on, and to keep our school spaces safe from ICE Raids.
📢 San Diego, there's a lot at stake.
The recent executive order to dismantle the Department of Education puts billions in public school funding at risk, including school meals, Special Education resources, and classroom supports for our most vulnerable students. Our schools and our students need MORE resources, not less!

Rally to Protect Federal Workers & Veterans!

WEDNESDAY April 16
11:30am - 1:30pm
• Speakers at Noon
Outside San Diego VA Entrance
3350 La Jolla Village Drive
San Diego, CA 92161
We stand together against the attacks on
veterans, VA staff, and all @afgeunion federal workers.
They want to break the VA, cut our jobs and the vital care we provide to our veterans, all so they can privatize the VA and put public funds into corporate profits. They know that we stand between them and this billionaires’ agenda. They think if they strip our collective bargaining rights and our Union contract, that we’ll be powerless to stop them.
But they forgot one thing:
Our Union’s greatest power isn’t in any contract or law! Our greatest power is in our strength in numbers, our unstoppable solidarity, and our massive support from the public! It’s time we show them our real power.
