Across Northern California, SEIU 1021 members stand in solidarity with the #StrikeForBlackLives
On Monday, July 20, our members in San Francisco, the East Bay, and Sacramento joined tens of thousands of workers nationwide in more than 25 cities in solidarity with the #StrikeForBlackLives.

All families deserve to thrive in a more just and equitable but until Black communities and other communities of color can thrive, none of our communities truly can.
