Why Join the Labor Heritage Foundation?
The Labor Heritage Foundation (LHF) exists to celebrate, preserve, and grow the cultural life of the labor movement—its music, film, art, poetry, theater, and stories. Members make that work possible, and membership is how people stay connected to a living, creative labor culture.
Joining LHF isn’t just about supporting an organization. It’s about being part of a community that believes culture is essential to building power, memory, and solidarity.
Labor culture doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people show up.
Join the Labor Heritage Foundation and help keep the art and soul of the labor movement alive.

Why Membership Matters Now
Labor culture doesn’t survive on nostalgia—it survives through active participation and shared support. At a moment when workers are organizing, resisting, and reimagining their futures, culture helps people connect across generations, industries, and movements.
Your membership helps ensure that labor’s songs are sung, its stories are told, and its history is remembered—not as the past, but as something still unfolding.
