Walmart Free: Education Forum


On September 20th, join the Black Institute in educating New Yorker’sabout Walmart’s lies and building support for our local Walmart FreeNYC Campaign at the “No More Lies” Forum.

Walmart’s urban strategy is to buy and bully its way into our cities with a massive million-dollar ad campaign making promises to communities and associates. Community members will be sharing the story of broken promises in cities across the country where Walmart is expanding and what organizing efforts are happening to protect workers and communities in our cities.

This forum is an opportunity for all of us – community, faith,labor, students, low wage workers, elected officials and every day NewYorkers to learn about Walmart’s broken promises in urban markets and to engage in the NYC local campaign. Click for More Info

a message from Zach Silk


We really appreciate your support.

It has helped us lay a very, VERY solid foundation for the rest of this race to defend marriage equality, and approve R74 this fall — but November is still 82 days away.  And this will be a dogfight, for sure.

As we stare down Labor Day, the official start of the campaign season, it seemed the right time to update you on where we are and where we’re headed.

Watch this video now!

We’re ready for this fight, thanks to you. And we’re going to need to really buckle down in the final phase of this race to make sure that we’re ready, no matter what they throw at us.

What Are You Doing this Weekend?

AFL-CIO TV ad
Watch the AFL-CIO TV ad.

Got plans this Labor Day weekend? With all that’s going on in our lives, it’s easy to forget that honoring America’s workers is what Labor Day is all about.

Here are some ideas on how you can celebrate Labor Day:

Watch the AFL-CIO national TV ad during Major League Baseball games Sunday and Monday, the Sunday NASCAR race and college football on Monday night. The ad will remind television viewers and radio listeners that it’s working people working together who will move our country forward.

Tune in to the Sportsman Channel. In partnership with the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA), Sportsman Channel will pay tribute to America’s workers with a continual run of public service announcements over Labor Day weekend featuring Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president and USA chairman.

Find out which employers are treating their workers well—and what’s going on nationwide and around the world when it comes to workers’ basic freedoms.

Take the next step and become a mobile activist. Get action alerts as part of the AFL-CIO Good Jobs Now team by texting JOBS to 225568.

As AFL-CIO President Trumka says: “Working people working together have always moved our country forward and that’s how we’ll do it again.”

As we celebrate this Labor Day, let’s remember America’s workers built our nation—and America’s workers are what make America strong.

Happy Labor Day from the AFL-CIO!
