Latino/Latina Committee
Latin@ Committee
This group is responsible for the review of policies and programs established by the state directly impacting Latino and Latina members of Local 1000. Additionally, the Committee is looking to expand its outreach to its members by hosting regional meetings and functions that will bring in Latino/a members, the Latino community and supporters of Latino issues. If you are interested in getting more involved at your local level, or if you have questions, please contact the Chair.
On behalf of Your SEIU Local 1000 LatinX Committee:
Please remember, as we enjoy our paid holiday in honor of activist Cesar Chavez, to put into action what Cesar Chavez demonstrated in his life - service to our community.
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.”
– Cesar Chavez

Honoring Our Families Immigration Story
In these days of great debate throughout the country on immigration, we would like to ask our members to reflect a little and think about their family’s own journey to this country. We want to provide you, as an SEIU Local 1000 member, an opportunity to celebrate your family’s immigration story.
Hispanic Heritage Month
Local 1000 Latin@ Committee building a bridge between past and future
Each year, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, but for our Local 1000 Latin@ Committee, recognizing our rich Latino heritage is part of their mission statement as they work to build a bridge between the past and the future of our brothers and sisters.
“The historic achievements of Latino leaders past and present is a template for the work of our committee and reminds us that we have more work to do,” said Miguel Cordova, committee chair.
Regional Activity & Support Request Information/Form
The Latin@ Committee is looking for members across the state who are willing to organize events and activities on issues of interest to the Latin@ community. The goal is to create opportunities for our members to become active in Local 1000 through our focus on the Latin@ community. We are looking for activities that are not focused solely on sponsorship, but rather on engaging our members to serve active roles.
