Essential Voices Submission

SEIU 721 members are speaking out via video to share their stories & demand more funding for the frontlines.

Essential workers are being threatened with layoffs, demotions and budget cuts – all while million-dollar companies are getting bailed out.

Submit your video and join in the fight for the critical jobs and services that our communities need now more than ever! #721VOICES

Best practices when sharing your story:

-It’s fine to use the front facing camera and just hold your phone vertically, no need to get fancy.

-Wipe off the lens with a cloth or tissue beforehand so the picture is clear.

-Make sure there’s some light in the room, so you don’t look like you’re in a cave.

-Pay close attention to your surroundings and record your video in a quiet place so we can hear your message clearly.

-Don’t worry about being too polished, be authentic.
