From June 26 to June 29, members of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) convened in Los Angeles from all over the country in order to discuss and decide the organization’s priorities. APALA is a labor constituency group that was founded in 1992 as a response to the ongoing exclusion and racism Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) workers faced within unions. Since then, they have remained the only national organization for AANHPI workers, providing invaluable resources, advocacy, and political education for them.

The local Seattle Chapter is the largest in the country, sending over 40 delegates to the convention this year. Seattle members connected with each other as well as members from other cities, while also learning about the work everyone has been engaged in – from the local level to the international level.
