Community Power Team: Creating Better Lives in 2021
Community Power is a union initiative that harnesses the power of our member leaders to exert the power necessary to achieve the Local 1000 Purpose: To create a good life for All Californians through social, economic, and environmental justice.
Carolyn Moyer, one of our newest member leader advocates and part of the Community Power Team, said it best. “I believe our members have huge hearts, and it’s great to have an avenue where we can use those hearts to improve our communities for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors.”

Fighting on the Front Lines for Social Justice
Ten different Local 1000 Human Rights Committees are at the forefront of our efforts to create a good life for our members—and All Californians—at work and at home. It’s the mandate of our Local 1000 Purpose Statement, and the member leaders who volunteer are leading the fight for social, economic, and environmental justice.
2020 Year in Review – Part 3
Connecting with Members in Different and Lasting Ways
Our Union is stronger when we stay together. However, in just a handful of days this past March, nearly 75% of state workers became teleworkers, and just as suddenly making connections with our represented members became significantly more challenging, ushering in the first of many new realities we would face in 2020.
But with challenges come opportunities, and through a variety of means, we made sure that the evolving needs of our members were met, and that they knew their Union was working to ensure their hard-earned contract rights were enforced.
