On Thursday evening, February 24th, UDW hosted a candlelight vigil that was held in front of the State Office Building in Santa Ana.  Homecare providers, clients, family, UDW staff,  and other supporters came to  stand in solidarity for the workers of Wisconsin.   UDW President Laura Reyes also attended and spoke to the crowd. 

“Federal law has allowed workers to form unions. Attacks on workers’ basic rights have been sweeping the country and we must stand together to ensure it doesn’t happen here!”
