The A. Philip Randolph Institute Maine Chapter is excited to invite you to join us to celebrate the official launch of our organization. APRI is a constituency group within the AFL-CIO for union members of color. Everyone is welcome to participate in APRI meetings and events and we are so pleased that you want to join us to celebrate this milestone.

We have been working for three years to build our chapter. At this event we will celebrate that progress, the many programs and events we have already sponsored, let more people know about the chapter, and continue to work to build a powerful and inclusive labor movement in our state. Please invite others from your union to attend - especially but not only members from the BIPOC constituencies.
