Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we honor the resilience and courage of those who continue to fight for equality and justice. Every person deserves the right to live authentically and without fear. Our Union is committed to fighting for inclusive, accepting, workplace environments that are free from hate.
We showed up in Alabama today for #allroadsleadtothesouth to protest our voting rights being gutted. It’s time for Freedom Summer 2026. We’re not resting until every vote cast this Fall is counted. They can try as hard they want to rig the system. They’ve been doing it for hundreds of years. But we will fight and we will win.

Inspiring words from Marizza Agliam, Room Attendant at Sheraton Waikiki, 8 years of service, to end the evening
“It is always important to fight–even if you are at your worst or you think you can’t win–because when fight together, we are more powerful. ”
Congrats UNITE HERE Local 54!
Members at Borgata voted overwhelmingly to ratify their one-year contract extension, with 99% casting ballots in favor. The agreement fully funds all benefits, preserves every win achieved in 2022, provides for wage increases for all bargaining unit members and more. This ratification secures stability for workers and their families while reaffirming our commitment to fair wages and strong benefits for the future.
They will continue the fight until all contract extensions are secured, ensuring that every member receives the protections and gains they deserve at every casino.
Urgent care workers like Jet in Maui know that with greater access to preventative care, patients can stay out of their clinic!

Welcome artists and union members!
This summer, the UNITE HERE Education and Support Fund (UHESF) is teaming up with Talking Dolls Studio to pilot a Detroit-based art residency for 4-6 emerging artists who are rank-and-file union members. This pilot prioritizes non-professional artists and is also open to professional artists or other cultural workers who can demonstrate an interest or intention for creative practice beyond the scope of their primary employment.
This is a paid residency to provide union members financial support to take a four-week leave of absence from work to concentrate on their creative practice. Artists of all stripes – visual artists, filmmakers, designers, musicians, poets, performers and more – are encouraged to apply.
As part of this application, applicants must submit a personal video or written statement, plus ten images (or examples) of their work. Applicants must also have a statement of support from their sponsoring union.

Meet Janet 👋🏼, a Housekeeper at Hilton Union Square San Francisco & member of UNITE HERE Local 2
🗣️ “Chinese people care about family, and the union is like our family too - that's why we call each other brother & sister. The Bay Area has a big Asian community but also Latino, Black and immigrants from many countries. We need every body and I’m proud to be a committee leader because we organize all our coworkers, no matter the different language and culture we stand strong together.”
