Achieve our Real Time Strategic Change Goals by empowering state employees to win social and economic improvements through relational organizing to 1.) Identify, recruit and develop worksite leaders and activists, 2). Champion broadly and deeply felt issues and 3). Organize self-sustaining structures that wield power and unite members in struggle to win.

Our in-house staff of labor law specialists includes eleven staff and senior attorneys, our Chief Counsel and eight legal support professionals. SEIU Local 1000 enjoys the largest and most diverse in-house legal department in the state of California. Seven attorneys are located in Sacramento-the rest work in local area offices to better serve members’ needs. 

The Political department leads political trainings, organizes candidate town halls and member involvement, facilitates precinct walks and election phone banks, creates teams for state Capitol and district lobby visits, and empowers Local 1000 members to get involved in the political process at local and state levels.  

Additionally, we look for ways members can strengthen communities through public service projects such as Habitat for Humanity, cultural events, and environmental issues.
