The labor movement builds economic power for ALL working people. We know that veterans succeed when they have access to the solidarity and opportunities of the labor movement. Veteran voices in our unions are powerful -- this Veterans Day, let's lift up all our members.

Climate Jobs and IL AFL-CIO Equity Director reminds us that the labor movement was built on diversity. We can invest in good jobs, ensure we create just transitions to new sectors and put money in the pockets of workers so no one has to worry if they can feed their family. #1u
