What will we do with your donation? Here are just a few of our accomplishments so far.

• Helped low-income workers use their own power in the workplace

• Recovered stolen wages through our wage theft program

• Trained over 400 people through deportation defense workshops

• Provided testimony against anti-immigrant/anti-worker legislation

• Opposed so-called “right to work,” sponsored a conference on fair trade, and supported our friends in the labor movement

• Successfully advocated to #KeepPedroHome

• Screened deportation and wage theft cases for advocacy and referral

• Redesigned the Central Ohio Worker Center [COWC] website and social media platforms, created a membership program, and made other improvements to the organization

During the coming year, we will expand our worker and immigrant rights advocacy program, redesign our deportation defense strategy to fit the current legal climate, move into our new office [courtesy of the Seafarers International Union], and increase our staff hours. Your donation today is critical to our work.
