Next Labor Legislative Conference and Lobby Day, March 4-5th

Our legislative conference combines training on our legislative agenda with a Labor Lobby Day to advocate for working people. We will strategize and lobby lawmakers, and our strength will be our ability to mobilize and communicate a clear commitment to fight for all workers. That is why it is so important you say, “Count Me In” and show up in big numbers to the LLC! Unlike the convention, there’s no limit on registrations.
