Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. January 19, 2026. "A dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many and give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character." AFL-CIO Convention, December 1961.

America’s unions celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for justice and equality.

The civil rights and labor movements have long worked together, and we honor that bond by continuing Dr. King’s work and mobilize for a better future for all.
