SEIU Local 1000’s Native American Committee proudly participated in Sacramento’s Inaugural Native American Heritage Month Parade on Saturday, November 9. Held along Capitol Mall, the event brought together Indigenous people and allies from across the region to celebrate traditions, culture, and resilience. It was a vibrant display of unity and pride that highlighted the rich contributions of Native Americans to our communities and workplaces.

Walking together in solidarity, members of the Native American Committee carried forward our commitment to amplifying the voices of Indigenous workers. This participation underscored the union’s role in advocating for workplace equity and ensuring all workers are respected and valued.

The parade served as a moment to honor the cultural heritage of Native Americans and their vital role in shaping the labor movement. From fighting for workplace protections to promoting justice, Native American Committee members lead efforts to address the challenges faced by Indigenous workers while encouraging broader participation in state service.

The Native American Committee remains dedicated to creating spaces where Indigenous workers can thrive. Through outreach, education, and advocacy, the committee works to ensure fair treatment, justice, and respect for all members. These efforts reflect the shared values of SEIU Local 1000 and our commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive workforce.
