“SEIU California has formally voted to rescind its endorsement of Eric Swalwell and to urge him to withdraw immediately from the race.

“As a union predominantly made up of women, SEIU has prioritized fighting for workplaces free of sexual harassment and assault. Many of our members have faced sexual harassment, coercion, abuse of power, and rape in the workplace and know firsthand how difficult it is to come forward in any circumstances, but especially when your abuser has more power than you do and your livelihood and future are at stake.

“We are grateful to the women who courageously spoke out to share their stories: every person who stands up to power and speaks out about abuse is helping to create safer workplaces and a safer society for all.”
