Mischa Gaus investigates Changing the South and Southwest Will Change America Working people in states such as Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado are uniting for justice with the support of our union— SEIU—and our local communities. In Houston, more than 5,000 janitors who made $20 a night doubled their income and won health insurance for the first time. In Florida, more than 4,000 nurses and other employees at six hospitals formed unions to improve the quality of care and win a better future for their families. As working people in the South and Southwest unite, we will help build progressive majorities not only in our own states but in the nation. To win affordable health care for all, immigration reform, and other changes, we need a national movement that unites working people in every region.
