They\u2019ll all say, \u2018Oh we love SEIU.\u2019 But the question you gotta ask yourself is, do they have it in their gut, do they have a track record of standing alongside you on picket lines? Do they have a track record of going after the companies that aren\u2019t letting you organize? Do they have a track record of voting the right way? But also helping you organize to build more and more power?<\/p>\n<p>And some of you know I come from an organizing background, so \u2014 I\u2019ve been working with the SEIU before I was elected to anything. When I was a community organizer, SEIU Local 880 and myself we organized people, to make sure that healthcare workers had basic rights; we organized voter registration drives, that\u2019s how we built political power on the South Side of Chicago\u2026.and now the time has come for us to do it all across this country, and then we\u2019ll paint the nation purple, with SEIU!<\/p>\n<p>I would not be a United States Senator had it not been for the support of your brothers and sisters in Illinois. Those folks, they supported me early, they supported me often. I\u2019ve got my purple windbreaker from my campaign in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>And so, we\u2019ve just got, what, four more days? Four more days of knocking on some doors. Four more days of working the precinct. Four more days of making sure all your co-workers are caucusing. SEIU, I am glad you are with me, let\u2019s together change the country! SEIU! SEIU! SEIU! SEIU! SEIU!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are Zombie&#8217;s unforgettable photos:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rayharvey.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
