The violence rally in Charlottesville, VA lead by White supremacist on Saturday August 12, 2017 is strongly condemn by AFRAM SEIU New York Chapter. The acts of violence which led to the senseless death of Heather Heyer, Lieutenant H. Jay Cullen, Trooper Berke Bates and injury to dozens, we mourn their loss and pray for recovery.

The Future AFRAM Stars are the movement of the future, a place without children is a place with no growth. The children will learn about the labor movement and how to become empowered to continue the fight to keep the labor movement strong for continuous growth into the future!!!

AFRAM_grad_feat.jpgTuesday, May 18, 2016 AFRAM hosted the Black Caucus Columbia University School of Social Work 18th Annual Black Graduation Class of 2016. Black Caucus was established to cultivate a positive relationship in the Harlem community and a support system for people of color. It serves as an opportunity for the AFRAM members to be a part of this event and support the community in which our members live and work.

The African American Caucus NY Chapter of SEIU (AFRAM) after our regular had an amazing Karaoke event on May 13, 2016. It was a night of fun, unity and displaying potential talents.
