We launched the fast food strikes that sparked the fight for $15 in Seattle; we helped lead the successful campaign to pass $15 in SeaTac; and we work in coalition with unions, faith groups, and grassroots organizations to hold corporations & politicians accountable to community needs.
We build power through education, organizing, and enforcement. We work to raise and uphold standards in the workplace. And we fight for economic and racial justice in our communities. Here's how:
EDUCATION
We learn together about our rights as workers, and we develop the tools to exercise our rights and make them real.
ORGANIZING
We organize, speak out, and take action to win changes in our workplaces and our lives. Together, we transform industry practices, change laws, and shift norms around the value of work.
ENFORCEMENT
We hold employers accountable to workplace laws and standards through legal services, and we use the law creatively to help build our movement.
We see a future where all jobs are good jobs, and where all workers are respected and thrive in our workplaces and our communities.
