UNITE HERE organized the largest union door-to-door canvassing operation in the U.S. in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, which at its peak put 98% of the union’s members in the country’s hotels, airports, restaurants, and casinos out of work.

The union was among the first groups in the country to begin door-to-door canvassing in 2020, a year in which many groups initially abandoned in-person canvassing—a cornerstone of GOTV electoral work—in the face of the global pandemic.

The union developed comprehensive “contactless” door-to-door canvassing protocols to minimize risk.

STATEMENT from the Black Leadership Group of UNITE HERE International Union:

We are organizers.

We are elected officers.

We are workers.

We are community leaders and neighbors.

We are parents, children, siblings, and kin.

We are your Union family.

And we cannot breathe.

In the last three months we have seen companies line up to abandon us.

We have seen them take away healthcare, guaranteeing that more people will fall ill.

We have seen politicians shrug their shoulders as people go hungry.

But while our Union has been thrown into crisis, our communities have been tossed into even deadlier devastation by ongoing racism and racist violence.

We honor the memory of 146 victims lost in 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Many were young immigrant women, new to America, working to support their families. From the ashes rose a movement of change, led by women like them. This is their story. These are their names: #Triangle146

Lizzie Adler was 24 years old at the time of the fire. Born in Romania, she had lived in the U.S. for 3 ½ months. She was buried in Mt Richmond Cemetery on March 26, 1911. She was the daughter of Labil Adler and Rachel Jacobs. #Triangle146

Anna Altman was 16 years old at the time of the fire. Born in Russia, she had lived in the U.S. for 5 years and was a union member. She was buried in Ocean View Cemetery on March 26, 1911. She was the daughter of Larres Adler and Sarah Dreadolph. #Triangle146
