Everyone has the right to work in a safe and healthy workplace - and to return home uninjured at the end of each workday.

OUR WORK

  • We counter anti-worker and anti-immigrant policy trends with our alternative vision of safety, health, and justice for all workers.

  • Our interactive trainings are designed to build worker leadership and power. Topics include Hazard Identification and Health & Safety Rights.

  • We provide legal training, technical assistance, and support to legal aid orgs that serve low-wage and immigrant workers.

  • Knowledge is power. We create and distribute resources to raise awareness about occupational health hazards, worker rights, and methods of redress.

  • Our research highlights occupational health & safety trends, notes emerging hazards, and documents movement victories.

  • Our approach to worker health & safety is grounded in creative collaborations with labor groups and community organizations throughout California.
