About Us:
Working Family Solidarity strives to educate and unify working families in Chicago and Illinois to create a culture of labor rights education and inter-racial solidarity among low-wage and contingent workers, including unemployed and under-employed workers. We believe that worker rights must be advanced hand-in-hand with housing rights for low-wage workers and their families, in order to reach economic stability for working families. In order to build the power to attain these changes, we must build stronger racial alliances among low-wage workers to decrease racial tension and build mutual trust and support.
Our approach is two-pronged: provide workshops and trainings on various areas of worker rights and housing rights, while simultaneously intertwining Racial Unity Dialogues which include a historical analysis of racism in our society. We believe that in today’s economy of mostly contingent work, outreach and education with workers must include their families as well, to build a broad-based movement which takes into account the worker as a family member, a community member, as well as a home-owner or renter, or possibly homeless.
