Hi John,

Are you looking for community and purpose in 2026 and beyond—for a way to make a difference?

You’re invited to join union leaders, working people, civil rights advocates and supporters for our 2026 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference to learn, heal, refocus and connect. The conference is scheduled for Jan. 15–18 in Baltimore.

If you’ve already registered, we want to hear from you! Record your story about why you’ll stay committed in 2026 and beyond. You can do it from a smartphone, tablet or computer with a front-facing camera.

 
Attending the MLK Conference gives you the chance to hear, learn from and network with key leaders in both our labor movement and the civil rights community. We have an exciting agenda to be released soon that includes powerful speakers like AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Princeton Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. and United Steelworkers (USW) International Vice President Roxanne Brown; workshops; training; and more!

Our sessions are specifically designed to educate you on the critical issues that will affect you and your family in the coming year, giving you the skills to survive and thrive in this postelection landscape, including at the state and local levels.

Here’s what our 2025 MLK Conference looked like:
