Labor Action Week
FIERCE ADVOCATES for working people
When we work together, changes are made for the betterment of Black workers. This Labor Action Week, we unite under the banner The Urgency of Now to confront the challenges facing working people — and to act.
Join us as we shine a light on the fights, the victories, and the voices that keep our movement strong. Together, we will honor the dignity of work, demand policies that protect and empower workers, and inspire a new generation to carry the torch forward.
Union leadership has traditionally been a man's world. Women are the backbone of policy, economic security and saving our democracy, and it is timely to have women leading in the workforce space.
- Robin Williams, Chairwoman, NAACP Labor Committee
Save Your Spot
Join us on Thursday, September 4 as we highlight and tackle urgent issues impacting working people, unemployment, impacted federal workers, immigration, and more.
Protect Black Workers
Black workers are sounding the alarm — not only for themselves but for the nation's economic well-being. We are urging the White House, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives to take immediate action to stop the economic backsliding facing Black workers. Sign our petition to help honor and advocate for them.
