Advocacy & Campaigns

Through advocacy around more robust labor enforcement and stronger protections for immigrant workers who report abuse, we seek to shift the dominant paradigm around worker justice to be one that is inclusive of ALL workers – regardless of immigration status.

Strong coalition participation with allies nationwide to advocate for increased protections for immigrant workers. Engagement in relationship building and strategic enforcement with federal labor agencies to advocate for targeted enforcement of labor laws to protect immigrant workers in ways that address particular vulnerabilities faced by immigrant workers. Administrative advocacy with immigration agencies to improve opportunities for immigrant workers who have suffered labor abuse. Advocacy before federal agencies, such as testifying before federal agencies in favor of stronger worker protections from occupational heat exposure. Filings of Amicus Briefs in support of workers. Media Campaigns bringing to light exploitation and abuse carried out by unscrupulous employers to increase public awareness. Providing education and tools to coalition partners to support national advocacy efforts.
