Please join us January 14-17, 2027 in Washington, D.C., for the 2027 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference.

We will build on our victories and strategize about the continued fight for economic and racial justice with—and also within—the labor movement.

The theme of January’s conference is: “United By the Dream"

The labor movement has always been a force for progress and we will continue that legacy by standing in our power and fighting back against the current attacks. We will step into the year with purpose and make it clear that working people will determine the direction of this country.  Together, we will build an economy and a society that works for everyone and ensures that all workers, no matter who they are, can live a life of dignity and respect.

During the conference we will host timely discussions led by experts about the most pressing issues facing our movement, determine how we can address these challenges, share best practices and provide attendees with the cutting-edge tools and knowledge they need to affect change.
