Know Your Value, a big conference in San Francisco with women who are leaders in media and business, has moved!
Know Your Value is about encouraging everyone, especially women, to find their voices. We decided to move our event to a new hotel in SF to respect the dialogue between management and employees at our original venue— and to have the best event possible for all participants.

A housekeeper in Local 26 Providence who recently won the re-election to her City Council seat, Carmen Castillo, was the subject of a documentary about her work for our union. “Councilwoman” premiered in New York. This film shows her rise from an active member of UNITE HERE to City Councilwoman, and her fight to represent the working people in her community.
It’s happening! Our Councilwoman launch party starts now! 🎉 #CouncilwomanFilm #ReflectiveDemocracy #labor #workerrights #immigrants #workingmom #Dominican #documentary #womeninfilm pic.twitter.com/wmCb7KoGL6
