"Since our founding, AFV and I, personally, have had
a good friend – a man named Bernard Rapoport. 'B' founded American Income
Life Insurance Company in 1951 with a mission to help labor unions and their
members by providing low-cost insurance policies to union members. As the
company grew over the years, B and the company became generous contributors
to a wide variety of progressive organizations, think tanks, magazines, and
authors, all over the country.
"Bill Moyers said that B 'has been tireless in his
support of social justice and progressive politicians committed to enlarging
democracy's embrace.' He has been honored by a wide variety of great
progressive organizations. Along with Working Assets and Ben and Jerry's Ice
Cream, AIL has provided a model of a progressive company."

you and American Income Life Insurance Company."

"Lots of businesses want to be known as 'progressive'
these days. But American Income Life (AIL), founded by the inimitable
Bernard Rapoport, has been progressive since its very first days in 1951.
They built their business serving and supporting the labor movement, and 'B'
Rapoport has been a major donor to progressive politicians and groups –
including the Campaign for America's Future."

"The American Income Life / National Income Life
