“Chinese virus”, “Wuhan virus”, “Kung Flu”

These are some of the hurtful words the former occupant of the White House used to describe the COVID-19 virus. The carelessness with which he uttered them not only betrayed his lack of empathy but also ignored our country’s dark history of anti-Asian sentiment, which led to Japanese-American internment camps during World War II.

These are some of the hurtful words that belittle the contribution and sacrifice that Asian Americans in cities and towns across California made during this pandemic as essential workers in every line of work ranging from healthcare to food supply.

These are some of the hurtful words that were the catalyst behind more than 3,800 attacks against Asians -- most of them against women. The attacks are shameful and heartbreaking. They are rooted in racism, bigotry, disinformation, and hate.

Yesterday, the Senate passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act – a bill that aims to fight the AAPI discrimination we’ve seen over the last year. While I applaud the Senate for passing the bill, I’m deeply saddened that this bill is even necessary.

This bill is but one step. We know we have to maintain this fight. The fight to protect our friends, neighbors, elders, colleagues, and even our leaders. The fight to stop the spread of disinformation. The fight to demand accountability and give no credence to excuses for racism. The fight for our brothers and sisters.

Hello IHSS providers, We are currently in conversation with Fresno county to create a plan on distribution. The vaccine roll out across the state will be in phases. Fresno county will notify providers and recipients as soon as they are ready to provide vaccinations. We will also be providing updates here. For more information on the vaccine and roll out please refer to the Fresno County health department website: https://covid19.ca.gov/vaccines/ -can-I-get-vaccinated.

COVID-19 vaccination is one of the most important tools to end the COVID-19 pandemic. The State is prioritizing vaccines for equitable distribution to everyone in California who wants it. We expect to have enough supplies to vaccinate most Californians in all 58 counties by summer 2021. On this page...

The people have spoken: congratulations to our next President and Vice President, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!

We look forward to seeing the caregiving industry as a priority for the incoming Administration as we work with them to provide for workers, families, and care recipients. And remember: your vote matters!

A note from April Verrett about today's election.

The polls just closed! In 2020 we’ve faced unthinkable challenges leading up to this historic election. I am proud to say that despite the challenges, Californians persevered to ensure we had a safe and fair election. I want to thank our California Secretary of State Alex Padilla for his dynamic leadership and all 58 county officials. Thank you for your work to protect our democracy and to allow all of our voices to be heard. To all the volunteers and poll workers on the frontlines, thank you for your sacrifice. Without you and your hard work, we wouldn’t have an election. Roger Crawford once said, “Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional”. In California, defeat is not an option. We will continue to fight for the most vulnerable amongst us after the election regardless of the outcome.

I also want to thank my SEIU Local 2015 family for going above and beyond during the most important election of our lifetime. Every election is determined by the people who show up, you all showed out! Every step of our journey together since our union was chartered in June of 2015 brought us to this pivotal moment. The votes are still being counted but I know the final results will have our fingerprints all over them. I am proud to call myself your president and I look forward to continuing the fight after the election.
