NOTABLE SUPPORTERS

PROGRAMS

Worker-Owned Cooperative Business Incubator

We support workers in gaining greater control over their work by developing worker-owned cooperatives. By helping workers build cooperatives in industries where they often face low wages and limited workplace power, we demonstrate that businesses can be structured around shared ownership, economic opportunity, dignity, and long-term sustainability.

Ending Wage Theft

Our goal is to significantly reduce wage theft in Rhode Island through targeted action focused on strengthening workplace practices, increasing accountability across industries, addressing subcontracting practices that can contribute to wage theft, and advancing policies and procedures that strengthen enforcement and penalties for employers who violate wage laws.

Popular Education

We facilitate year-round workshops on labor rights, leadership development, and job-readiness skills, including access to and effective use of technology.

Justice for All

We work with community members to promote opportunities, dignity, and fairness for all. We collaborate with grassroots organizations and community partners to address shared challenges, strengthen collective action, and build stronger, more connected communities.
