SEIU President April Verrett Keynote Speech -- Convention 2024

Our new president, April Verrett: "We will fight like hell to build worker power.
We will defend our democratic institutions with every fiber of our being.
We'll never surrender our agency, our dignity or our power.
We will not bend. We will not yield. SEIU, we will not break.
We will always fight! Because when we fight, we win.
SEIU, together, we will ensure that all workers - Black, white, brown, and beyond - can join forces across employers, industries, sectors, and geographies to build power like never before.
And if that means rewriting the rules, then pass me the pen, because we are ready to draft a new chapter in the history of North American labor.
Let's get to writing, y'all!" #ThisUnion
