Members of the City Council’s LGBTQIA+ Caucus joined labor leaders and queer activists outside City Hall on October 7 to roll out a new funding initiative for non-profits and city agencies to recruit LGBTQ talent, provide training, and connect individuals to union jobs.
The announcement came almost exactly four months after folks huddled at City Hall and chanted “we’re here, we’re queer, give us a union career” as they sought to convince the city to fund the employment effort.
