City of Oakland Workers Hit the Streets to Talk to Their Neighbors and Make a Difference
On Saturday, June 6, SEIU 1021 members joined community members in the Refund Oakland coalition to knock on doors and talk to their neighbors about a city budget that invests in our residents, our working families, and our frontline workers. This partnership between union members and community members has driven a change at City Hall in Oakland, as a newly elected City Council has pushed back against Mayor Libby Schaaf’s austerity budgets.

“When SEIU 1021 members around Marin County realized how many of
