Our Work

We are dedicated to building worker power through strategic organizing, educational programs, and advocacy efforts. Our initiatives focus on promoting equity, justice, and fair labor practices across diverse industries. Together, we drive meaningful change and support a thriving community of empowered workers.

At GMWC, we empower low-wage workers through organizing, leadership development, and advocacy. By building multiracial solidarity and fostering community partnerships, we strive to achieve systemic change and elevate workplace standards for all.

Build Multiracial Solidarity and Worker Power

We unite workers across racial lines to strengthen collective bargaining and amplify our shared voice. Through collaborative initiatives, we dismantle systemic barriers and create inclusive pathways to empowerment.

Elevate Workplace Standards

Our efforts focus on improving conditions and securing fair wages, benefits, and protections for workers. By advocating for policy changes and corporate accountability, we foster environments where dignity and respect are standard.

Build Strategic Alliances

We form strategic alliances with grassroots community organizations and entities that share our commitment to social and economic justice; and collaborate with partners to amplify program impact and reach a wider audience.
