Understanding how labor has worked in America, especially when considering Black people, is vital for advocating for equitable solutions towards wealth and employment for the Black community.
This week is #LaborWeekOfAction.
NAACP Labor Action Week 2021 will bring together elected officials, union leaders, and civil rights change-makers and activists to provide an advocacy framework and solutions for administering and implementing an infrastructure plan that prioritizes the needs and interests of Black America, while also addressing long-standing issues around the racial wealth gap and systemic racism within the trade and various other employment industries.
