“As a public employee, being active in politics is critical to our survival. Politics affects us at every level, every day.”
Carmen Duron,

The Member Political Organizer (MPO) Committee of SEIU 221 is recruiting members.
As an MPO member you will:
- meet and work with elected officials;
- interview and recommend endorsements of political candidates;
- help guide the political involvement of our union;
- fight for funding for our jobs and programs;
- educate our co-workers on political issues.
Essentially, being a member of the MPO Committee gives us a voice in the political decisions of our union. We are looking for energized, committed, and motivated members who can commit to at least two hours a month for political activism to improve our lives. We are about working people, not political parties.
MPO Committee meetings are held the second Thursday of every month at our SEIU Local 221 Office. If you would like to attend a meeting or want more information, please contact Carlos Marquez, Government & Community Relations Representative, at 858-560-0151 or carlos.marquez@seiu221.org.
