Pride At Work members and Organizer Ash Kalinda attended the 55th Annual A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) National Education Conference in New Orleans July 22-26, 2026. APRI’s mission is to advocate for social, political, and economic justice for working families, particularly Black Americans, by uniting the labor movement with the Black community. Pride At Work joined our APRI siblings to show solidarity with our fellow AFL-CIO constituency group.

On Monday, June 1, Pride at Work kicked off our quadrennial Membership Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, bringing together members, chapter leaders, and labor partners from across the country. At a time when 2SLGBTQIA+ workers, unions, and our communities continue to face coordinated attacks in the face of authoritarian rule, the convention served as an opportunity to reconnect, strengthen our movement, and strategize for the next four years.

Pride At Work is thrilled to announce the hiring of our new full-time Organizer: Ash Kalinda!

P@W Executive Director Brittany Anderson recently joined the Labor Heritage Foundation at AFL-CIO headquarters to present SEIU President April Verrett with their 2026 Solidarity Forever Award!

Pride At Work’s Quadrennial Membership Conventions are the highest authority of our organization and are union democracy in action. The 2026 Convention is hereby called to convene at the The Marquette Hotel in Minneapolis, MN at 9 AM CST on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 and will adjourn by 1 PM CST on Thursday, June 4, 2026. Credentialing will open on the afternoon of June 1, 2026, followed by an evening kickoff event.
