2020 SEIU Voter Guide
Our Union has been active in electing candidates and voting in laws that make life better for working families. This November, SEIU 49 members have an opportunity to determine the direction our communities will take. There's so much at stake for all of us, and we're in the fight of our lives to:
- Protect our rights as Union members and ensure non-Union workers continue to have the right to organize.
- Protect and expand access to affordable, quality healthcare.
- Fight back against sexism, racism, homophobia, and injustice and bring equity and opportunity to EVERYONE in our communities.
- Recover from the COVID-19 public health crisis with stronger communities and safety nets.
- Take bold action to address climate change.
We can do this because we're stronger together, and we can get more done when we take part in political and community action. Here are some ways you can get involved now:
