The Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) is a national nonprofit organization focused on Latino workers and their families, aiming to educate, organize, and mobilize within the labor movement to influence workers’ rights and political participation. It represents interests within major labor federations and unions, serving a demographic that includes more than 2 million Latino workers across AFL-CIO, The Change to Win Federation, Independent Unions, and related memberships, and it supports engagement with the broader labor movement and community. Based in Washington, DC, LCLAA operates within the civic and social organizations sector, emphasizing advocacy and leadership development for Latino workers and their communities. The organization was established in 1972 to address the needs of Latinos in labor and to expand their influence in labor rights and political processes. A recent development includes participation in major union events and the release of an annual report examining partnerships between the labor movement and the Latino community. The organization maintains an online presence and engages with audiences via social media and video channels to share its activities and resources.
