Brittany Anderson (she/her) is the Executive Director of Pride At Work, the AFL-CIO constituency group and organizing hub for LGBTQIA+ workers. Brittany has been a dedicated Pride At Work member for over a decade, and was elected as national Co-President in 2022. Previously she was also elected to the organization’s National Executive Board in 2018 and as President of the NYC/Long Island Chapter in 2015.

As part of Occupy Wall Street in 2011, Brittany learned how corporations and billionaires try to divide the working class by the color of our skin, what part of the country we live in, where we were born, who we love, how or if we pray, and our gender. The union organizers who took her under their wing at Occupy showed her how unions are the vehicle for joining together across our differences and building an economy and country where everyone can thrive, no exceptions.

Brittany joined the labor movement in 2011 as part of Occupy Wall Street, where union organizers took her under their wing. As a retail worker in New York City, she went on to work for the RWDSU/UFCW Local 338 and the RWDSU International Union in multiple roles, including new organizing, electoral and legislative campaigns, creating and facilitating trainings, and representing workers fighting for justice and fair contracts on the job.

She moved back to her home state of Minnesota in 2017 to become Field Director of the Southeast Minnesota Area Labor Council. Brittany worked as the 2020 Statewide Canvass Director for Faith in Minnesota/ISAIAH, and IAM District Lodge 77, working on organizing campaigns across the Midwest. Brittany is a proud union queer and now lives in Washington, D.C.
