Worker’s Justice Project (WJP)

Founded in 2010, the Worker’s Justice Project (WJP) is a New York City worker center that educates, organizes, and fights for better work conditions and social justice in the workplace.

With a base of more than 12,000 members, WJP organizes low-wage, immigrant workers who are fighting to raise workplace standards in the construction, house cleaning, and app-based delivery industries.

Our mission is to empower low-wage immigrant workers to gain a voice in the workplace and build strong and economically sustainable communities through education, organizing, leadership development, and the growth of grassroots economic alternatives.

Our main goals are to change the conditions that lead to exploitation, to strengthen the grassroots base of the labor movement, and to create grassroots economic alternatives.

We pursue our goals through advocacy, grassroots organizing, education and training, creative expression, and by working in coalition with allies that support our common objectives.
