Kicking off the 2025 IAM Human Rights Conference in Atlanta!

This year’s theme: Breaking Barriers - together, we’re challenging injustice and building a stronger labor movement for ALL.

We begin the IAM Human Rights Conference with a powerful truth from @IAMBrianBryant:

"This conference is not just a meeting. It is a declaration. A declaration that the IAM is not on the sidelines of the human rights struggle - we are leading it."

@IAMBrianBryant IAM GST Dora Cervantes fires up the momentum at the Human Rights Conference:
"Let’s keep building a union, building a world, where human rights are not optional, but foundational."

@IAMBrianBryant The IAM Human Rights Conference is back - thanks to the hard work of IAM Human Rights Director Nicole Fears.

Her work ensures our union stays breaking barriers and at the frontlines of justice.

@IAMBrianBryant IAM Southern Territory GVP Craig Martin reminds us: progress is made when we come together.

At the IAM Human Rights Conference, we are breaking barriers to build a union where every voice matters.

@IAMBrianBryant At the IAM Human Rights Conference, IAM Western Territory GVP Robert “Bobby” Martinez reinforced the importance of building bridges across our differences.

Unity doesn’t mean we’re the same - it means we move forward together.

@IAMBrianBryant The Breaking Barriers panel at the IAM Human Rights Conference is bringing truth to the table: discussing the obstacles we face and the strategies that will help create a stronger, more inclusive labor movement.

@IAMBrianBryant Day 2 of the IAM Human Rights Conference is underway!

IAM Women’s and Young Workers Department Director Julie Frietchen is inspiring the next generation of union leaders. 💪

@IAMBrianBryant .@IAMAW_EastTerr General Vice President David Sullivan is sounding the alarm on attacks against workers' rights - and laying out the path forward through bold actions.

The IAM is not just reacting: we’re organizing, lobbying, and leading.

@IAMBrianBryant @IAMAW_EastTerr Day 3 started strong with @iamairtransport GVP Richie Johnsen reminding us: “You have to keep the fight going.”

Ready for another day of learning and action!

@IAMBrianBryant @IAMAW_EastTerr @iamairtransport Brittany Anderson from @PrideAtWork reminds us: Justice is indivisible. When we fight for one, we fight for all.

@IAMBrianBryant @IAMAW_EastTerr @iamairtransport @PrideatWork At the IAM Human Rights Conference, Clayola Brown didn’t just talk about empowerment - she embodied it.

Her leadership at @APRI_National continues to shape the labor movement for the better.

@IAMBrianBryant @IAMAW_EastTerr @iamairtransport @PrideatWork @APRI_National Yvonne T. Brooks of @AFLCIOGeorgia brought power and purpose to the IAM Human Rights Conference.

@IAMBrianBryant @IAMAW_EastTerr @iamairtransport @PrideatWork @APRI_National @AFLCIOGeorgia At the IAM Human Rights Conference, @staceyabrams delivered a message aligned with everything the labor movement stands for: working people must be at the center of every policy, every decision, and every future plan.

@IAMBrianBryant @IAMAW_EastTerr @iamairtransport @PrideatWork @APRI_National @AFLCIOGeorgia @staceyabrams The IAM stands with ALL workers.

A powerful panel at the IAM Human Rights Conference brought together an IAM Local 695 member Max Londonio wrongfully detained by ICE, his family, and an @AFLCIO immigration expert to expose how current policies put working people at risk.
