The Flint Local 432 (or "the Local") is an all ages music venue in Flint, Michigan. The Local's name is a reference to the autoworker unions located in the area. It was founded in the mid-1980s by Joel Rash, for the purpose of providing the Flint area with a venue for local bands to play. The Local currently is in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) and has purchased its own building that is being renovated into a permanent home. Even though it has faced many challenges and changed buildings multiple times, the Local has continued to survive to the current day and been a home to any band that wants to be heard.

As of December, 2007, the Local has begun raising funds to renovate and re-open. The success of local band Chiodos, who got their start playing at the 432, has generated quite a bit of fresh interest and resulted in positive mention in Blender, AP, and other national magazines.
