A. Philip Randolph Institute
An organization of Black trade unionists fighting for racial equality and economic justice. Founded in 1965 by A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin — who knew the fight for workers’ rights and civil rights were inseparable.
APRI is an organization of Black trade unionists fighting for racial equality and economic justice. Founded in 1965 by A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin — co-architects of the 1963 March on Washington — APRI exists because its founders knew that the fight for workers’ rights and civil rights were inseparable.
Today APRI is the senior constituency group of the AFL-CIO, with 109 chapters in 31 states and a national network of more than 250 volunteers. APRI’s civil-rights-meets-labor mission has shaped every major Black freedom victory since the March on Washington.
