Economic Justice

We support a fair economy that guarantees worker rights and dignity, and provides everyone with access to the necessities they need to survive and thrive.

We’re proud of:

  • Mobilizing our community to help decriminalize and legalize street vending.

  • Working for many years close corporate property loopholes, including gathering signatures and getting out the vote for Prop 15 in 2020.

  • Backing the Fair Workweek LA Coalition.

  • Supporting the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively.

We support many different paths to create an economy rooted in solidarity and back policies such as paid parental and sick leave, affordable high quality child care, as well as programs to support for small- and micro-businesses such as street vendors, corner markets, at-home childcare businesses, and other businesses often run by people marginalized groups and especially people who may have not have an ITIN or SSN.

A majority of our budget comes from our members’ monthly donations. In 2024, our goal is to raise 70% of our budget from dues-paying members. That will enable us to be 100% accountable to people like you. Your gift allows us to respond rapidly to emerging issues, to take on powerful interests, and spend as little time possible on fundraising so we can focus on the crucial work that needs to get done every day.
