The Four Pillars

Randolph taught Rustin. Rustin taught Lawson. Lawson trained the marshals of 1968. Lucy printed the signs. This is the unbroken chain — and these are the Memphis partners carrying it forward.
A. Philip Randolph
1889 — 1979
Bayard Rustin
1912 — 1987
Dr. James M. Lawson Jr.

AI Working For Working People
At the AFL-CIO's 30th Constitutional Convention in Minneapolis, delegates declared "AI Should Work For Us" — passing a resolution that technology must be used to empower workers, not surveil, exploit, or replace them.
This app is that resolution in action: AI built by labor, for labor — educating union members and youth, telling our stories, and growing worker power on our own terms.
Backed by Government & Civic Leaders

They Spend Billions to Bust Unions. Imagine If We Spent That to Grow Them.
Every dollar spent fighting workers is proof of how powerful an organized worker is. The facts say unions should be growing — not getting busted up:
spent by corporations EVERY YEAR on union-busting consultants & law firms (EPI / LaborLab)
spent by Amazon alone on outside anti-union consultants in 2025
of Americans approve of labor unions — near a 60-year high (Gallup)
higher median pay for union members vs. non-union workers (BLS)
