Pilipino Workers Center

       

Founded in 1997, Pilipino Workers Center (PWC) is a grassroots non-profit that organizes the low-wage and immigrant Pilipinx communities in the United States.

 

We build collective power to demand better living and working conditions in order to secure the dignity, safety, and economic stability of the Pilipinx community.

Our Priorities

BUILD POWER through winning long-term care & home care policy organizing campaigns, and increasing the Filipino impact on the electorate through civic engagement, carried out by a vibrant, active membership base that can take action.

BUILD POWERFUL FILIPINO COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY

STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICES. When those with least access to support receive it, it lifts the entire community. PWC provides services to undocumented Filipinos, trafficking survivors, immigrants (citizenship processing, deportation defense) under threat of restrictive immigration policy, and by creates quality employment opportunities and expertise of caregivers through workforce development training, wage theft calculation and case filing assistance, and cooperative opportunities.
