ICYMI: Your union participated in the largest Pride March in the state earlier this month. We wore our union swag and pride art as we marched alongside other unions and LGBTQ+ orgs at the Middletown Pride March.

If you missed it this time, we'll be back again next June. In the meantime, learn more about the intersection of labor history and pride with our video series: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EorsrUWfL/

We continue to fight for LGBTQ+ rights today. Many labor unions have Pride committees or other coalitions that focus on these important issues. The AFL-CIO started "Pride at Work," a organization that advocates for gay rights as human rights issues.

Your local, CSU-AAUP, has a Pride Working Group that discusses LGBTQ+ issues on CSU campuses and organizes for events, like the Middletown Pride March.

Her union, UAW Local 1112, defended her rights and educated her coworkers so she didn't have to work in a toxic environment. She retired from GM and received her full union benefits, allowing her time to volunteer and advocate with her church.

Harvey Milk was a prominent figure in LGBTQ+ activism. Milk used relationships and community-building to improve conditions for LGBTQ+ folks. He worked with labor unions during the Coors boycott, and then leveraged those relationships to defeat the Briggs Initiative.
