The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists 54th International Convention
Posted March 8, 2025
The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists 54th International Convention is fast approaching. This year, it will be held Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – Monday, May 26, 2025 at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace in Orlando, Florida. I ask 1621 to strongly consider participating by sending a representative from your District Council to this Convention. Rank and file members are more than Welcome and please let me know if you’re interested.
The theme for this year’s Convention is “Preserving and Building on Our Legacy: Unbought, Unbowed, Unstoppable.” The IUPAT members who have attended CBTU Conventions in the past have reported that they greatly benefitted from the speakers and workshops, specifically in their organizing efforts in partnership with communities of color. I am encouraging you to continue your efforts to build the IUPAT presence within the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and to further our organizing agenda.
