I am deeply honored to lead UNITE HERE into a new era. Our Union has shown incredible resilience and strength through the pandemic and set new standards for jobs in our industries. We proved that hospitality jobs can be good union jobs.

The right to assemble and to peacefully protest is fundamental to who we are as a country and to the power of the labor movement.

We were proudly out in cities across the US today demanding #freedavidendraids. We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids on our communities. We will win through solidarity.
