The Home for Black Trade Unionists

Who We Are

In 1965, 1,000 black schoolchildren were arrested for attempting to march in front of an Alabama county courthouse. The same year, 25,000 people joined the Selma-to-Montgomery Freedom March and the Voting Rights Act removed barriers preventing blacks from voting. 1965 was also was the year the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI), a national organization of black trade unionists, was founded. APRI's mission, from our founding to the present, has been to fight for racial equality and economic justice. Our role is unique. We work with black trade unionists, the people best suited to serve as a bridge between labor and the black community. APRI spearheads the "Black-Labor Alliance" an initiative to build black community support for the trade union movement, and to convey to labor the needs and concerns of black Americans. With more than 150 chapters in 36 states, APRI members are involved in political and community education, lobbying, legislative action and labor support activities. You can join our fight by joining APRI.
