Backed with the strong support of the AFL-CIO, APALA has thirteen chapters and pre-chapters and a national office in Washington, D.C. APALA recruits and trains union members and labor activists to become leaders in the labor movement. APALA mobilizes voters to increase Asian American participation in the political process. APALA is involved with local communities to increase their awareness of the labor movement and issues that affect workers. APALA also has ties to international delegates who visit the United States.
