Doug Moore is the Executive Director of UDW/AFSCME Local 3930, a union of over 140,000 in-home care providers and family child care providers throughout California. Moore joined us by phone to talk about the challenges his members face providing in-home care during the COVID pandemic, and about the larger challenges facing service employees - particularly people of color - every day. Moore credits then-Assemblywoman Maxine Waters for inspiring him to expand his labor platform into a broader movement for social change and racial equity; he calls UDW a "social justice union." He participated in the 2014 protests against police violence in Ferguson, and renewed his call for Americans to contend with anti-Black racism following the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
