Join us in February to celebrate Inland Empire’s Labor Movement in our second COPE Gala.
We are thrilled to announce the return of our COPE Gala
In 2023, the Committee on Political Education (COPE) hosted its first-ever gala—a powerful night where Inland Empire unions came together to fundraise for critical electoral work. The event helped mobilize union members, amplify pro-labor voices, and ensure that working people had a seat at the table in key elections.
Building on that success, we are proud to host the COPE Gala once again. Mobilizing members during elections takes time, resources, and a commitment to see the Inland Empire’s working-class prosper. With your support, we will continue to strengthen the labor movement, elect champions who fight for workers, and make sure our voices are heard where it matters most.
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate The Golden Age of Labor!

Your sponsorship of the 2026 COPE Gala: The Golden Age of Labor is more than just a contribution—it’s an investment in the future of working people. Money raised goes directly into fueling our grassroots efforts, empowering union members to hit the streets, knock on doors, and have real conversations that move the needle in elections.
In 2024 alone, our canvassing teams mobilized thousands of workers and their families, ensuring pro-labor candidates and policies had the support they needed to win. With your support, we’ll continue building a powerful movement—one rooted in solidarity, action, and a vision for a stronger, more just economy.
