Union members, LGBTQ+ crisis workers and supporters rallied outside Trump Tower last Sat to protest the Dept of Health & Human Services’ decision to eliminate funding for specialized suicide hotline services for LGBTQ+ youth & young adults. nycclc.org/news/hands-988… #HandsOff988
NJ’s public worker health plan is in crisis, and the FY2026 budget made things worse. If the Admin. had implemented even half of the cost-saving proposals we wouldn’t be in this mess. We’re ready to meet anytime anywhere to make this right. Full statement: cwad1.org/press-releases…
A5903 represents a big step toward ensuring that working families in NJ have a stronger voice in the admin. of their health benefits. We look forward to working with @SpeakerCoughlin, @asmverrelli & the legislature on this! Read our full statement here: cwad1.org/press-releases…

CWAers, elected leaders, & allies turned out in force in NYC to say no cuts to 988, the specialized suicide hotline services for LGBTQ+ youth & young adults. The Trump Admin announced cuts to funding that will eliminate this service as well as hundreds of union jobs.
Trump’s decision to defund LGBTQ+ suicide prevention services is cruel & will cost lives. I rallied with CWA workers- compassionate counselors at risk of losing their jobs- to demand the vital 988 lifeline be restored. We must protect LGBTQ+ youth. Join us bit.ly/3IoovG6

Thank you @ValdezAssembly for joining us yesterday to demand a stop to disastrous cuts to the 988 LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline! Appreciate your support and solidarity ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
Cutting funding for the LGBTQ+ 988 suicide hotline is stupid, cruel, and self-defeating. Stupid, because there's never been a more "efficient" use of government dollars; it gets 400,000 contacts per year. Cruel, because it targets an already persecuted group of people when they…
The federal government recently withdrew counseling services funding for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults from the nationwide 988 suicide prevention hotline. Today, I proudly stood in solidarity with countless advocates, organized labor, and elected officials, in demanding…
Over a dozen NJ unions representing over 140,000 workers are loudly opposing Governor Murphy’s proposed 37% increase in healthcare costs. We are calling on the legislature to return to Trenton and reverse this harmful cut to the State Health Benefits Plan!
Join us this Saturday, 12:30 PM at Trump Tower to protest the administration's move to end the 988 LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline “People are going to die,” Gloria Middleton, president of @CWA1180 Local 1180, which represents the workers providing the service gothamist.com/news/lgbtq-sui…
"This dramatic increase is a BETRAYAL of the public workers who keep our state running. @GovMurphy's decision to impose these staggering health insurance hikes undermines the financial security of NJ’s public sector employees." Read our coalition statement cwad1.org/press-releases…
Cutting SNAP is like stealing candy from a baby (metaphorically!). But in all seriousness, for the FIRST TIME in the program's history, these cuts will shift cost to the states, and some kids are going to lose access to a critical life improving benefit. njspotlightnews.org/2025/07/snap-f…
