This Giving Tuesday, support workers who are organizing to protect themselves:

The Laundry Workers Center (LWC) is a worker-led organization fighting for dignity and justice for low-wage immigrant workers across New York and New Jersey. Through grassroots organizing, we build power in two of the city's most exploited industries—laundromats, restaurants, warehouses, and construction—where wage theft, unsafe conditions, and worker abuse are rampant. Right now, our communities are facing unprecedented threats from increased immigration enforcement, economic precarity, and workplace exploitation. Our organizing teams are mobilizing, teaching workers their rights, building their organizing and leadership skills, and creating the collective power they need to defend themselves and their families. This year alone, we have recovered over $174,000 in stolen wages in New York and $204,000 in New Jersey with the Department of Labor, trained new worker-leaders running their own campaigns, and reached nearly 900 workers with vital rights education.

Grassroots organizing support is declining when our communities need it most. Your gift today fuels the leadership training, Know Your Rights workshops, and active campaigns that transform isolated, vulnerable workers into confident organizers who can fight back. When workers like Mayra organize, who was being exploited in a laundromat in New Jersey, they do not just win for themselves—they create a model for all laundromat workers. When construction workers like the Cabricánecos organize, they make one of NYC's most dangerous industries safer for everyone. Stand with workers organizing to protect themselves. Give today.
