UDW councils are local member-driven groups dedicated to providing resources for home care and child care providers across the state and leading vital initiatives in our communities. If you are interested in enhancing your leadership skills and becoming more active in growing our union power, fighting for our communities, and securing wins for our members and our families, please consider joining one of our councils.

“It is vital that everyone gets involved in their local political council so that we can get people elected who are going to keep fighting for what we and our clients need and keep our programs safe! We all need to be involved because we all have different skills that can help us in our fight.”
– Catherine Louie, IHSS provider, Orange County
