The Latin American Workers Project (LAWP) is a non-profit, non-governmental, community-based organization.

Mission Statement
LAWP’s mission is to organize low-income, Latin American, immigrant and migrant workers. By developing community leadership, we seek to create the foundation to improve the workers’ living and working conditions, obtain just salaries, promote economic development, and defend human, worker and migrant rights.
How We Fulfill Our Mission
LAWP trains leaders in factories, restaurants, bodegas, construction sites and among street vendors, day laborers, and cleaning staff. These leaders organize campaigns and create strategies to recover unpaid wages, denounce discrimination and sexual harassment, claim workman’s compensation, and inform workers of their rights. LAWP also provides legal representation for the workers and the greater community.
Through organizing, we will eradicate the different forms of exploitation and improve working conditions thereby raising our standard of living in the community with respect, justice, and dignity. |
