What Is Stand for Security?

Stand for Security is a national, community-based campaign to build stronger communities by helping hundreds of thousands of African-American security officers win a better future.

Private security officers and SEIU have launched the largest organizing effort of a predominantly African-American workforce in the history of the labor movement. By organizing the Pullman Porters union in 1937, A. Philip Randolph helped create the black middle class. Security officers nationwide are building on that legacy by uniting in SEIU.

We are just getting started. There are more than a million private security officers already working in one of the nation’s fastest growing industries. Imagine the potential for our communities if we can turn private security into a steady, good-paying job with health care.
