ABOUT CONVENTION
The APALA convention brings workers and allies together for powerful plenaries, APALA business, and an opportunity for attendees to take collective action. This convening links generations of organizers who are working to advance worker justice and continues the groundwork laid by decades of training programs, our political and civic engagement programs, and our series of successful immigration campaigns. APALA members in good standing, community allies, student activists and any other interested organizations can attend convention. Additionally, APALA welcomes members of all International and National Unions, State, and Local bodies. This year's Convention will be virtual. CONVENTION AGENDA
