We Mourn the Tragic Death of Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan

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.
