Organizing

Outreach & Education

Our outreach efforts foster meaningful engagement with the garment worker community, reaching individuals who may otherwise be unaware of their labor rights or avenues for recourse. Through strategic and targeted outreach, we have expanded our reach to four service areas in LA County: Downtown LA, South LA, Southeast LA, and El Monte. Through our outreach we effectively disseminate essential information to garment workers, organize factory committees, and empower them to assert their rights and advocate for fair treatment in the workplace. 

Leadership Development

Our Leadership Development Organizer works closely with organizers and the Organizing Director to identify and create trainings for our worker leaders such as Know Your Rights, leadership development, and political education workshops to have leaders ready to organize in the workplace. In addition to creating trainings for leaders, the Leadership Development Organizer develops training curricula and materials for our Worker Rights Ambassador Program (WRAP), Promotores Program, and Escuelita de Liderazgo.
