Pride at Work AFL-CIO Rochester Finger Lakes Chapter
If you believe that the fight for social justice doesn't just stop at the doorsteps of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, but that true social justice means an end to racial discrimination, sexism, the right to join a union, the right to a living wage and health care, and peace above war, then you belong with Pride At Work.

Juneteenth
As we celebrate Juneteenth, it is crucial to reflect on the parallels between the historical fight for freedom and today's challenges. The right to vote, a foundational right in our democracy, continues to be under threat, particularly for Black communities. Systemic racism and structural inequality rooted in the legacy of slavery and white supremacy still hinder the full realization of democratic rights for all.
