WORKING FAMILIES AWARDS CELEBRATION 2025
Join us at our largest fundraising event of the year to celebrate the achievements of the Area Labor Federation and our affiliated unions and to raise funds needed to support our important work this year.
Become a Sponsor by May 23rd!
This year’s theme, “Workers Over Billionaires,” is a call to remember that when working people win, we all win. We’ve made real progress over the past year, from raising the minimum wage for Harris County workers to enrolling over 800 Houstonians in apprenticeship programs through our Apprenticeship Advantage initiative.
These victories show what’s possible when we organize. Now more than ever, we need your support to keep this momentum going.
Join us on May 30th to honor the champions who made those victories happen:
