Earth Day 2025
April 22 is Earth Day, a day for people worldwide to unite in a global movement to acknowledge the climate crisis and seize the opportunities of a zero-carbon future.
For years, SEIU-West has marched in pride parades. As a union, we celebrate and fight for equality and diversity. This year will look different with COVID 19 restrictions, but there are still ways to participate.
