Protect and Defend: Our Care, Our Communities, Our Future
UDW’s Protect and Defend campaign is our fight to stop attacks on the services, resources, and rights our communities depend on. From Medicaid and child care cuts to threats against immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, and working families—this is about more than our jobs. It’s about justice.

Join the fight.
