Family Values @ Work Action

This May 1st, we're doing something about it. Tax the rich. No ICE. No war. Expand democracy. Hands off our vote. No work. No school. No shopping. The whole country, standing up. 🌹 @oakland_forward @poderlatinx @NJCitizenAction @HcanSpeaks familyvaluesaction.org/take-… #MayDay2026

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. In a 6–3 decision today, the Court struck down Louisiana's majority-Black congressional district — and opened the door for states across the South to redraw their maps before November. Florida moved within hours. Mississippi is next. Here's why this matters for working families: when voters lose power, paid leave loses power. Childcare loses power. Medicaid loses power. Every fight we're in runs through the ballot box. Your vote still matters, because it wouldn’t be under attack if it didn’t. 🗳️ Pledge to vote early. familyvaluesaction.org/take-…

WE DID IT. 🗳️ Virginia voted YES — refusing to let Trump rig the 2026 midterms. Voters approved a new congressional map that could shift the state's U.S. House delegation from 6-5 Democratic to as many as 10-1. But the fight doesn't stop at state lines. ➡️ Texas Republicans gerrymandered 5 Democratic seats off the map, silencing communities of color. ➡️ Missouri Republicans drew Black voters out of Kansas City. Our coalition partners are fighting back — and we stand with them. Virginia won. Texas and Missouri are next. ✊ 👉 Don't just share this post.

Tax Day is here — and this week, Trump ordered McDonald's to the Oval Office to promote his tip tax cut. DoorDash driver. Red t-shirt. A $100 bill tip on camera. The vibe was "workers win." The fine print says otherwise. "No tax on tips." "No tax on overtime." "No tax on Social Security." Caps. Phase-outs. Restrictions. And the workers who need it most? Many don't even qualify. Watch this before you file. Tag someone who works for tips, picks up overtime, or is about to retire. 👇

April is Care Workers Recognition Month — but our policies don't show it. This Tax Day, we're calling on Congress to fix the rigged tax system and support caregivers. Use our script to call your member today. 📞 familyvaluesaction.org/actio… #CareNotBillionaires

Just days ago, nearly 8 million people showed up across the country. That’s not just a crowd. That’s collective power. But what happens after moments like this? Because showing up is only the beginning. Right now, as families navigate real challenges — from missed paychecks to the rising cost of care — we know change doesn’t just happen in the streets. It happens in our communities, too. That’s why we’re launching House Parties for Democracy this April. Small, local gatherings where people can come together, share their stories, and turn this moment into real action. Because building a democracy that works for families starts with conversation, connection, and community. At Family Values @ Work Action, we’re organizing for: ✔️Care Policies - paid leave, sick days, and affordable childcare ✔️ Free and democratic elections that protect our vote ✔️ Tax justice, ensuring that billionaires pay their fair share 👇 Want to be part of what comes next?

They healed communities the system forgot. They organized workers who had no seat at the table. They translated medicine across languages and cultures so their people could survive. They fought for the right to exist in spaces that were never built for them. As we wrap up Women's History Month, we're honoring five women whose lives remind us that care work has always been the work that makes all other work possible.💜 → Rebecca Lee Crumpler — first African American woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S. → Lillian Wald — founder of public health nursing, co-founder of the NAACP → Addie Wyatt — labor leader who proved workers' rights and civil rights are the same fight → Annie Dodge Wauneka — Navajo Nation leader and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient who saved lives by meeting her community where they were Their work is our foundation. Let's keep building. #WomensHistoryMonth #CareWork #FamilyValuesAtWork #LaborRights #HealthEquity #BlackHistory #IndigenousHistory #WomensHistory #WorkersRights

As the #Oscars approach this Sunday, let's shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of our society: Caregivers.🎬🌟 These five Oscar-worthy films — Marvin's Room, The Intouchables, Still Alice, Silver Linings Playbook, and Sky Blossom — powerfully capture the realities faced by millions of caregivers every day. From navigating diagnoses to balancing responsibilities, their stories remind us that caregiving is a universal experience that touches us all. But unlike the movies, caregivers often don't receive awards or red carpet recognition for their tireless work. That's why we’re fighting to build a care economy that truly supports and values them. This Oscars weekend, let's go beyond the silver screen and demand real change: 🏆 Paid family & medical leave for all 🏆 Affordable, accessible care options 🏆 Thriving wages & benefits for care workers 🏆 Dignity, respect & support for caregivers Share this post to show caregivers everywhere that they are seen, appreciated, and deserving of our collective support. Together, we can create a world where no one has to choose between earning a living and caring for their loved ones.

The momentum is ours. 📣 The 19th is reporting this week on new research from the @NPWF showing that state paid family and medical leave laws now cover nearly 1 in 3 U.S. workers — the highest share in history. 14 states have acted. Six more are close. But here's the truth: families in the other 37 states can't wait. And three-quarters of Americans already agree — Congress should pass a national paid leave program that covers medical leave, parental leave, and family caregiving, at the minimum. The public is ready. Congress needs to catch up. We've been fighting for this for over two decades — in statehouses, in communities, and in the halls of Congress. Every single one of those 14 state laws is proof that organizing works. And we're not stopping until every worker, in every state, has the same guarantee. The fight for federal paid family and medical leave is now. Join our fight. 🔗 Link in bio. #CareIsLove #PaidFamilyLeave #PaidLeave #FamilyValuesAtWork #CareCantWait #FamiliesOverBillionaires
