Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Every year, the nation celebrates the contributions made by Dr. Martin Luther King. His words and actions supported the labor movement in its fight for respect and dignity for all workers. He gave his life supporting AFSCME sanitation workers carrying signs demanding union justice with the words, “I AM A MAN.” . He inspired a nation to change. In 2013, our country will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington that rallied hundreds of thousands of people to call for jobs and freedom.
The labor movement will celebrate this milestone at the 2013 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Observance. The theme is “We Are One: Worker’s Rights and Civil Rights”. You may join in the workshops, enjoy the speakers, and spend one day in community service at the conference.
