This past weekend, we commemorated Juneteenth—but the fight for racial justice is far from over
President Joe Biden signed a measure into law last Thursday establishing June 19 as Juneteenth National Independence Day, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. The day is also sometimes called “Juneteenth Independence Day,” “Freedom Day” or “Emancipation Day.” It’s the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was created in 1983.
SEIU 1021 Members in the City of Oakland Speak Up for a Budget That Works for All Oaklanders
As Oakland’s City Council continues to work towards passing a balanced budget, SEIU 1021 members and other members of the community keep the pressure on. The City’s Refund Coalition, a group that includes SEIU 1021 and other labor organizations along with many community groups, has been tireless in its advocacy for a budget that prioritizes the things Oaklanders really care about: investing in housing as a human right; public safety and public services; protections for frontline workers; and arts and culture funding.
