Spotlight on POWER (People Organized to Win Employment Rights)
|
|
"POWER's work is guided by our theory of social change which sees that
those people who are most affected by the problems of society-
low-income and working class people, people of color, women, queer and
transgender people- must lead a movement of millions to eradicate those
problems. By building power from the bottom-up, POWER is able to ensure
that public policy and public institutions serve the interests of
everyone."
