In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, IATSE was proud to be represented at the 2026 @aflcio.org MLK Civil & Human Rights Conference in Baltimore, joining union members & labor leaders to honor our history and fight for economic & racial justice. Shout out to the talented Local 19 crew!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words remind us that equality cannot exist in fragments. A society cannot proudly defend political rights while overlooking or denying the economic conditions every human being needs to live with dignity.
