In the midst of attacks on voting rights, worker protections and civil liberties nationwide, union members and labor leaders are convening in Baltimore today for the start of the 2026 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference.

For four days, faith and civil rights advocates and working people across the country will gather to talk about the Trump administration’s coordinated efforts to roll back working people’s freedoms and strategize how our movement will fight back and build a better world for us all. Attendees will hear from compelling speakers, participate in workshops and sit in on panels discussing some of the most pressing issues facing our movement today.
