AFL-CIO ✊ AFSCME .AFSCME Int'l Secretary-Treasurer Bill Lucy founded the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists to uplift Black voices in the labor movement. In 1968, he assisted the Memphis sanitation workers strike & helped elevate the role of labor in the civil rights movement. #BlackHistoryMonth

It’s times like these where we must come together in solidarity. Let’s stop standing on the sidelines and get active. We need to if we want to save our democracy. Our workers deserve respect and dignity. Come join us as we demand change!
