Meet Alice Stanford, a banquet server at the JW Marriott. Alice moved to LA after high school, but the high cost of living left her sleeping in her car. After securing a union job, she was able to afford a two-bedroom apartment and felt a sense of stability—until the LA fires forced her to evacuate in the middle of the night. Although her building stood, smoke damage left her home uninhabitable, and her landlord refused to fix it. Thanks to her union’s hardship fund, Alice found temporary housing and the union’s legal fund is now fighting to hold her landlord accountable. This is the power of standing together

Meet Arturo, a worker at the Fairmont Miramar for 31 years. Thanks to his union health insurance, Arturo didn’t have to worry about the cost of cancer treatment after his 2020 diagnosis. So, when his contract expired in 2023, he joined his coworkers on the picket line to fight for that same security and protection. Today, he’s proud of the victories they won—showing why it’s always better in a union.

Thank you to everyone who helped in our 2024 campaigns in Arizona. We faced record-breaking heat, dogs, guns, and even wild javalinas to knock on 1.3 million doors and have 250,000 conversations with voters. We took a hit, but we are back up and are ready to fight just as hard once again.
