Join UFCW 21 members for this important, online event on Asian American Workers in the Labor Movement and the organizing being done by APALA!

Author Kent Wong (Director, UCLA Labor Center) and labor organizer Dr. Ligaya Domingo (Racial Justice and Education Director, SEIU Healthcare 1199NW) will discuss the new book "Asian American Workers Rising." The book celebrates the first thirty years of the Asian Pacific Labor Alliance (APALA), AFL-CIO, the first national Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) worker organization within the US labor movement. On May 1, 1992, five hundred union members from throughout the United States came together to from APALA, a breakthrough in a union movement that had historically excluded AAPI workers. APALA launched a national network of AAPI activists who have organized workers into unions, advanced labor's political power, forged labor and community alliances, recruited the next generation of organizers and activists, promoted diversity within labor, and implemented a comprehensive agenda for economic and social justice.
