Please join Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer and SEIU Local 721’s African American Caucus as we celebrate Juneteenth on Saturday, June 17, 2017. This year we are raising the bar and inviting members to attend a formal evening of live music, delicious Southern cuisine, African dancers, exclusive door prizes and much more. We are encouraging everyone to dress in their best formal African attire keeping in step with our theme of “From Broken Chains to a New Reign.”
SEIU 721 members are justifiably proud of their work. Every day, SEIU 721 members care for the sick, feed the poor, house the homeless, protect our children, and keep our streets clean and safe. We literally keep society moving.
Every year in Los Angeles County thousands of children are left in a lurch, waiting to be placed with a loving family. Sometimes social workers get 20, 30, or 40 rejections before they can place a child. We are in a placement crisis. The SEIU 721 Placement Forum on March 25th brought social workers together from across Southern California to tackle this immense problem.
Like all of you, we were devastated by the death of Gabriel Fernandez, who was abused and murdered by his parents while in the L.A. County DCFS child welfare system. For years our union has advocated tirelessly for reforms that could have helped prevent this tragedy.
SEIU Local 721 County of Ventura members sent a message to the Board of Supervisors, in person: “Give us thanks for a job well done!”

The Fight Is Just Beginning
