The eight-hour day. The weekend. The right to orga The eight-hour day. The weekend. The right to organize. Workers fought for all of it—now we're fighting for the right to shape how AI gets used at work.

From warehouse monitoring apps to algorithms that build (and rebuild) schedules without understanding real workloads, "bossware" is reshaping work across industries and leaving workers without any say in the process.

Workers deserve real rights for the 21st century: the right to know before a monitoring system is deployed, the right to human review before AI-driven discipline or firing, the right to see and correct the data collected about them, and so much more.

This year, we're honoring a leader who takes on bold fights in Congress and champions bills that protect and empower working families and the most vulnerable.⁠
⁠
From calling for prosecution of ICE agents terrorizing our communities to pushing back against corporate abuses, Congressman @rokhannausa is a leader who is unafraid to act before it's safe—before it's popular. ⁠
⁠
He is of the strongest supporters of the California labor movement in Congress today. Representing over 760,000 constituents in the Bay Area,  he continuously fights side by side with the labor movement to enact policies that help and protect working families. ⁠

Silicon Valley is known for technology, investment Silicon Valley is known for technology, investment, and big ideas, but innovation begins with people.⁠
⁠
Today, we're joining the the Immigrant Protection & Empowerment Network (IPEN) in launching People Power Innovation, a campaign to recognize and support the immigrants who make Silicon Valley possible - from those who build the next tech innovations to the janitors, security guards,  and cafeteria workers who are the critical backbone that keeps the tech industry running. ⁠
⁠
The campaign calls on tech workers, companies, leaders, and residents to stand with immigrant communities and help protect the people behind the region’s success.⁠

Everyone in Santa Clara County deserves a stable p Everyone in Santa Clara County deserves a stable place to call home. 🏡🏢

Working Families Housing is a new blueprint to build permanently affordable homes twice as fast—pairing smart public policy with mission-driven investment, and creating good union jobs along the way.

These recommendations draw from the insights of 70+ union leaders, policy experts, developers, and community members who believe housing stability shouldn't be out of reach for the people who keep our county running.

This work would not be possible without our co-chairs: @scbtc, @workingpartnershipsusa, @sobaylabor, @supbettyduong, @mtnviewellen, @supervisorabekoga, @peterortizd5, @larrykleinsunnyvale, and @svathome.

And we're just getting started—now, we build.

This year, we're honoring the first group people call when ICE activity in our region threatens the safety of a family member or worker in our County—the Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network.⁠
⁠
Since 2016, @scc_rapidresponsenetwork has grown from a handful of volunteers to over 3,000 strong, running a 24/7 hotline that dispatches trained legal observers to verify and document ICE activity in real time. ⁠
⁠
They organize and empower the community—running know-your-rights education across all 15 cities in Santa Clara County and standing publicly with immigrant families so no one is pushed into the shadows. Every day, they demonstrate people power that doesn't ask the government for permission. ⁠

Join us at Champions For Change 2026 on Sep 17 as we celebrate the SCC Rapid Response Network as one of this year's Champions.🏆⁠

This year, we're honoring a leader who's spent 30 This year, we're honoring a leader who's spent 30 years protecting working people in California and across the country—David Huerta.⁠
⁠
As President of SEIU-United Service Workers West, David's spent his career (since joining SEIU in 1996) defending immigrant workers and working families, often before it was safe or easy to do so.⁠
⁠
He and SEIU-USWW have long been partners of ours here in Santa Clara County—standing together to make sure the thousands of workers who power the tech industry have dignity and a voice on the job.⁠ David reminds us that courage means acting before it's safe, before it's easy, and finding joy and power in doing it together. ⁠

Join us at Champions For Change 2026 on Sep 17 as we celebrate David as one of this year's Champions. 🏆⁠
