LGBTQIA+ individuals deserve more than just survival, they deserve equity, safe working conditions and dignified pay.

From the fight for the 8-hour workday, work breaks, and the weekend, the labor movement has proven that when workers organize and stick together, they win.

At a time when anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation is advancing across the country and the EEOC rolls back critical protections, unions remain the trusted place where working people can stand together, demand dignity, and protect each other on the job. An injury to one is an injury to all. Labor Council for Latin American Advancement

Equal pay. Equal rights. Labor rights! 🏳️‍🌈✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️

Today, on Awareness Day, we're calling on Congress to pass the BE HEARD in the Workplace Act, which would strengthen federal anti-discrimination law for all & make clear once and for all: discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal.

No more loopholes or rollbacks. Every worker deserves protection.
Email Congress at the link below to show your support.

Today we recognize the wage gap between Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women and white non-Hispanic men. AANHPI women earned about 83¢ to every $1.

We need to come together to break down economic barriers that affect the AANHPI community. Regardless of our race, gender, income, or immigration status, benefits us all.
