The Food Worker Power Fund
The Food Worker Power Fund needs YOUR help to raise $500,000 by September 2021 to support food factory worker-led organizing in New Jersey. Your donation will allow Brandworkers a sustainable funding stream to hire a second organizer who can provide needed training and coordination for workers to achieve dignified union jobs through worker-led organizing.
Help ensure that food factory workers in New Jersey will have a sustainable path to power, firmly rooted in their organizing home.
Our Vision
“By standing together, by rising up to demand immigrant worker protections at Tom Cat Bakery, we’re taking a stand—not just for ourselves, or for our own families, but for millions of immigrants in America striving for a better life. We will not back down.”
