  • Indivisible IL – The Importance of Labor Unions & How Activists and Legislators Can Support Them

    Join Indivisible Illinois for a timely and powerful virtual panel on the Labor Movement, the role of unions, and the growing challenges facing organized labor under the current federal administration.

    At a moment when workers’ rights are once again under pressure, this conversation will bring together labor leaders and elected officials on the frontlines of the fight to protect collective bargaining, workplace protections, and the fundamental right to organize. Panelists will break down recent federal actions impacting unions, explore what these changes mean for working families, and outline the stakes for the future of the labor movement.

    From historic victories that built the American middle class to the urgent fights happening today, this discussion will highlight how unions continue to serve as a critical force for economic justice, equity, and democracy. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges ahead—and how collective action can push back against efforts to weaken worker power.

    Whether you’re a union member, organizer, or ally, this panel will offer insight, context, and concrete ways to get involved in defending and strengthening labor rights across Illinois and beyond.
