Our labor movement could not exist without the work of Black union members and leaders.

During #BlackHistoryMonth and every month, America’s unions celebrate the elders and ancestors who came before us and those fighting now for racial justice in the workplace and beyond.

A message from our union’s president, Bianca Polovina, of solidarity with our immigrant communities and the everyday people who are bravely standing up to the brutality and injustices of ICE.

We must keep showing up to observe, to document, to protest. An injury to one is an injury to all.
