CALL: No Cuts to Medicaid

Right now, Congress is considering a reckless budget package that would cut $1.5 trillion from essential programs like Medicaid. If you spoke out to protect the Affordable Care Act, we need you to speak out even louder to protect Medicaid.

The Voice of Labor in Massachusetts

The role of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO is to serve as the unified voice of all organized workers in the Commonwealth and to be a voice for all working people, those in unions and those not yet organized. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families—by working for economic, social and racial justice in the workplace, in our communities, our state and in our nation. Our vision is of a fair and just society that benefits all working people, not a system that’s rigged in favor of the wealthy few.

Now representatives in Congress have introduced the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would overturn Trump’s executive order.

We are asking every single American who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers to join a union to call their member of Congress right now.
