It’s time to stand up and say “Hands off Medicaid!”

Medicaid is the largest health insurance program in the country, and now it’s under attack.

Alameda County members win a new contract after long fight

On Wednesday, April 26, Alameda County workers made it official and voted to ratify their new contract, with 95% YES votes. This followed a lengthy bargaining campaign that started in July of 2022 with the election of a bargaining team and featured near-constant countywide actions, from rallies and marches and unity breaks to petitions, packing the Board of Supervisors meetings to make public comment, and spreading their message with billboards and bus ads.
