SEIU 1021

November 5, 2024, Endorsements
Let’s elect pro-labor candidates and pass measures that help our communities!

Post

Each election, SEIU 1021 members endorse candidates who will stand with us as we fight to win strong contracts and protect working standards.

Winning for our members is important. We do this by volunteering in elections and contributing to our Committee on Political Education (COPE) funds.

We urge members to participate in phone banking, canvassing, and other outreach initiatives to help us elect candidates who will fight for us and pass measures that will benefit workers across Northern California.

Click the links below to see what candidates and measures SEIU 1021 members have endorsed for the November 5, 2024 election, and see our upcoming volunteer opportunities here.
