We Mourn the Tragic Death of Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan
“Today I join our community in grieving a massive loss. Wilma Chan has passed away, taken from us far too soon.
She spent her life in service to her community, as an Alameda County Supervisor and in the California State Assembly. She was a beacon for the Asian-American and Pacific Islander Community, as our state’s first Asian-American Assembly Majority Leader. She was a dedicated and tenacious advocate for healthcare, affordable housing, families, our elders, and our children.
SEIU 1021 Members Lead the Way Toward a Safer Oakland
On October 19, Oakland’s City Council unanimously voted to move forward with establishing a trailblazing program called MACRO: Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland. MACRO will expand the city’s public safety programs by adding a non-police response option for non-violent emergencies. The program will be staffed by civilians with the medical and mental health training to handle these non-violent emergencies. The people doing that work will be SEIU 1021 members, with living-wage compensation packages that will be comparable to other first responders in Oakland.
