SUPPORT YOUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AT THE BINATIONAL HEALTH FAIR

Workers Defense Project has a mission to empower low-wage workers so that they can become leaders in their communities. We are an organization that is dedicated to providing the resources needed to uplift low-wage workers and their voices. Workers Defense Project gives free legal support to workers who have faced wage theft, discrimination, injuries, etc on their work place. We also provide free adult education and training so that the low-wage immigrant community can be equipped with the resources they need to advocate for themselves.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION
Support your immigrant community by informing fair goers about the work of our organization!

  • Give a short overview of our organization
  • Reaffirm to fairgoers that they have rights and they should not be afraid to exercise them
  • Invite people to our meetings so that they can know their rights and fight for a just world!
