Every county needs somewhere that can't say no. Fo Every county needs somewhere that can't say no. For Santa Clara County, that's VMC.

When a private ER hits capacity, patients get redirected. When VMC hits capacity, there's nowhere left to go. Cutting this system doesn't just hurt VMC's patients. It raises the risk for everyone who needs an ER bed in this county.

This is the hospital holding the whole system together. #HandsOffOurHealthcare. Protect Santa Clara Valley Healthcare.
Today for #ParamedicAppreciationDay, We're highli Today for #ParamedicAppreciationDay,

We're highlighting our public healthcare system that ensures anyone can get care when they need it: the Santa Clara County hospital system doesn't ask what insurance you have—it just treats you.

But this model is under direct attack. H.R. 1 is gutting the Medi-Cal funding it runs on, and we're still $270 million short this year—not from mismanagement, but because Washington pulled the floor out.

Swipe to see what's at stake.

An airport can't run without its workers. ✈️ Yest An airport can't run without its workers. ✈️

Yesterday, we joined airport workers at San José Mineta International Airport to stand with them in their fight for a fair contract. Every worker deserves dignity on the job, fair wages, and working conditions that respect the essential role they play in keeping our communities connected.

When workers stand together, they build the power to win not just for themselves, but for all working people. ✊🏽

Last Friday, workers from healthcare, childcare, fast food, gig work, and other industries came together with elected officials and candidates to share their experiences directly. From unsafe working conditions and low wages to the rising cost of living, workers spoke honestly about the challenges they face every day—and the changes they need to see from the people making decisions that affect their lives.⁠
⁠
Real solutions start by listening to the people closest to the issues.

When indoor temperatures reach 82°F, employers in Santa Clara County must provide important heat protections, including cool drinking water, a cool-down area, and training on heat illness. Staying safe at work isn't a perk—it's your right.⁠
