Pride At Work, a new Chicago chapter of the national labor coalition, held their monthly meeting Oct. 12 at Center on Halsted. The group is participating in marriage equality phone banking and the March on Springfield, and they are working to make sure LGBTQs continue to be a strong part of the labor movement.
As the national Pride At Work states on their website, www.prideatwork.org, the group “is a nonprofit organization and an officially recognized constituency group of the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor & Congress of Industrial Organizations). We organize mutual support between the organized Labor Movement and the LGBT Community for social and economic justice. In addition to national Pride at Work, more than 20 Chapters organize at the state and local level around the country.”
