Political Field Program

Local 1000's political field program aims to build a base of activists and member political organizers in every region. We work with field and District Labor Council leaders to recruit members for political action. Our program moves legislators to support our issues, including the state budget, our contract and departmental campaigns, and specific bills relevant to members. Get involved by signing up below. Some of our activities include: visiting your representatives at their district and capitol offices, reaching out to potential organizational allies, and participating in town hall meetings and targeted races.

What is political power and how does our union shape its program around building political power?

  • We endorse candidates that have shown a commitment to standing up for public workers.

  • We raise resources and mobilize members to help elect our endorsed candidates and send a message to politicians that their success or failure depends on SEIU.

  • We visit legislators in their district and in the capitol to inform them about issues important to the members of Local 1000. We encourage them keep stand up for the interests of state workers and Californians.

  • Our policy positions are reinforced by a team of researchers and policy analysts who provide credible information useful to politicians and supportive of state services.

  • We train members to tell their own stories to politicians, to the media and at public hearings in ways that re-enforce our message of standing up for state workers and services
