Change to Win Convention 2007

The American Dream is the most powerful and universal expression of the hopes and aspirations of working families in the United States. The Dream is about recognition for hard work and personal responsibility. It is the shared value that defines our country, and encompasses faith in ourselves and our future.

On September 25, nearly 1000 delegates, allies and guests representing the seven Change to Win unions came together at the Chicago Hilton in Chicago, Illinois, for the 2nd Biennial Convention.
