We need your help to protect homecare!
Dear Fellow Caregiver,
Welcome to the community of IHSS providers!
We are the heart of homecare. We serve our communities by caring for the people who need it most – family members and neighbors who are often overlooked by society.
Our work is rewarding, but also very difficult. This is why we have come together to offer each other a community of support. Through UDW – the homecare providers union – we can speak up about issues that are important to us and our clients. Together, we protect the IHSS program and our families.
I ask you to join UDW. Becoming a member gives you access to extensive benefits, and your contribution powers the work we do every day to protect IHSS. Join us in fighting for what matters most – people taking care of each other.
In unity,
Editha Adams, UDW President
