ALIGN

HONOREES

At the 2024 ALIGN Movement Builders Awards, we’re thrilled to be honoring the leaders in social, economic, and environmental justice who make New York a national model for progress:

• Teamsters Local 804 President Vincent Perrone, who has been a champion for working people across New York State, working in coalition with ALIGN to raise the minimum wage, combat the abusive practices of big corporations, and win worker protections. Local 804’s leadership in organizing Amazon workers has been essential to building worker power in this growing sector. 
• Senator Jessica Ramos and Assemblymember Harry Bronson, steadfast labor leaders and Chairs of the Senate and Assembly Labor Committees. These passionate allies helped us shepherd the Warehouse Worker Injury Reduction Act and the Retail Worker Safety Act, landmark pieces of legislation that will protect thousands of New York workers, to victory this year.
• IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) Local 3’s Business Representative Benjamin Arana, who recently retired, for his contributions to winning and implementing NYC’s Dirty Buildings Law, Local Law 97—the cornerstone to our city’s climate future.
