While we strive to celebrate Black History year-round, in recognition of Black History Month, we want to take the opportunity to feature some incredible Black labor leaders at ESC Local 20. Read on to meet some of ESC Local 20 Black member leaders, past and present, who broke barriers and fought — and continue to fight— for economic mobility, stability, and equity on the job.Â
Two of the latest groups to join ESC local 20 are the seventh and eighth legal service nonprofits to join ESC. Employees at Homeless Action Center provide free legal services to unhoused residents of Alameda County, and Disability Rights Advocates (DRA) represents people with disabilities and has a long history of protecting workers’ rights. DRA is the eighth legal service nonprofit to join ESC, the fourth in 2020.
ESC Local 20 pledges our commitment to the Black Lives Matters movement. We stand with those in the labor movement who will fight for equality for our Black brothers and sisters. We stand against the use of qualified immunity and union contracts to shield police from the consequences of oppressive violence. Unions have an important role to play in the constant struggle for justice, and we will not allow them to be co-opted to uphold systemic racism.
