Equity For All of Us
Working to advance social, economic, and racial justice for marginalized communities in Chicago’s hospitality industry.
Our Mission
Equity for All of Us is a 501(c)(3) organization founded by the leadership of UNITE HERE Local 1 in Spring 2020 to advance social, economic and racial justice for marginalized communities in Chicago’s hospitality industry.
About Us
Equity for All of Us was created in response to the enormous impact on hospitality workers – whether they are unionized or not – of the COVID-19 pandemic. By some estimates, over 90% of hospitality workers were laid off or lost their job in March 2020. The loss of income and health care, high rates of illness (including mental illness) and death were staggering; the impact will be felt for years to come.
