APALA is excited to share with you their Labor Toolkit on Anti-Asian Racism, available for download today! Feel free to forward this information to your networks!

APALA created this toolkit as a guide for the labor movement to build a truly inclusive workers' movement. In the toolkit you’ll find concrete actions that we can all take: from leaders and staff of international and local unions as well as State Federations and Central Labor Councils, to individual rank and file workers. We must fight to end anti-Asian racism with the same fervor as we fight for workers’ rights!

Download APALA’s Labor Toolkit on Anti-Asian Racism NOW!
