In America, we should all be able to earn a good living and have a good life. All of our work is valuable and so are our lives. The future of our #FightFor15 and a Union movement depends on us taking a stand together, across racial differences to fight against anti-Black racism. When we link arms and join together, we can create an economy and democracy where everyone, no matter the color of our skin, has a voice.

We’re taking action to hold our elected leaders accountable to improving our lives and standing up for a world where everyone can have an equal voice. Join us in this fight: seiu.me/racial-justice-fb #BlackHistoryMonth 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

This Black History Month, we’re celebrating the powerful Black women who are fighting for a better future and continuing the fight to make sure everyone, no matter where we work, has a voice on the job.
