We’re thrilled to reflect on the success of the SEIU Local 1107 Know Your Rights Workshop, which took place over two impactful days—March 26 and March 29. Organized by the Racial Justice Committee in collaboration with the AFRAM, API, Latino, and Lavender Caucuses, this event provided essential resources and vital information to our community, empowering attendees to better understand their rights and navigate legal challenges.
The first day of the workshop was filled with informative presentations, important conversations, and a sense of unity as attendees gathered to learn about their rights in various areas, from immigration law to civil rights protections. We heard from incredible speakers who shared valuable insights into the resources and legal support available to those who need it most.
The second day brought even more energy and engagement, with an impressive turnout and powerful discussions that built upon the foundation laid on day one. Panelists and community leaders gathered to provide additional support, answering questions and addressing concerns that directly impact our diverse communities.
We were fortunate to have a wide range of experts and leaders who shared their knowledge and engaged in meaningful discussions with our attendees:
These panelists provided critical information on a variety of topics, helping attendees navigate legal challenges and gain a deeper understanding of their rights.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our community partners, who helped ensure that attendees received the best resources, guidance, and support. A heartfelt thank you to:
Their partnership made a significant impact and helped create a welcoming and informative environment for everyone.
A huge shoutout to the local businesses who provided delicious food throughout the two days, which helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including empanadas from Calabash African Restaurant, Oiga, Mire, Vea Colombian Cuisine, and a Filipino restaurant. Additionally, a beautifully curated charcuterie board from Soiree Grazing and delectable baked goods from Rina kept everyone fueled and satisfied.
Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and engaged in this critical conversation. Whether you joined us on Day One or Day Two, your involvement helps build a stronger, more informed, and empowered community. The Know Your Rights Workshop was not just about learning; it was about fostering solidarity, advocacy, and a sense of shared responsibility in standing up for our rights.
Together, we are continuing to push forward for racial justice and equality. Knowledge is power, and when we come together as a community, we are unstoppable.
