SEIU 721 members have begun phone banking
and walking precincts to help elect a new governor who will work to rebuild California and support public
employees and the services we provide. Volunteers say it’s a meaningful opportunity to talk to other SEIU members about the need to rebuild our economy and the choices they’ll make on Election Day.
“It takes just a few hours but can make a huge difference for
you, for the people you serve, and for California.” – Linda Mascorro, LA Superior Court
Many city and county employees are motivated to volunteer, some for the first time in their lives, by the intensity of the current attacks on public employees by elected officials and corporate interests.
“Public employees are being
blamed for what’s wrong with California. This year I’m doing something about
it.” – Johnny Clark, LA City General Services
“I’m talking to other SEIU 721
members about candidates who share my values and issues I care about. Like
protecting retirement for working people, and making sure teachers, and city and
county workers have the respect we deserve.”
– Carolyn Consoli, Ventura County Public
