Miami Workers Center

Over the past quarter-century, the Miami Workers Center has been at the vanguard of advancing social justice and equity in Miami Dade County. From advocating for environmental justice, affordable and safe housing, and workers' rights to fighting against systemic racism and discrimination and for reproductive justice, our work has shaped the face of Miami and has been at the forefront of creating positive change in Miami. As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary, we invite you to join us in celebrating the successes of the past 25 years and charting a course for the future! As we navigate increasingly complex challenges and build the Miami we all want and deserve we are counting on you for support!

MWC believes in visibility, respect, higher wages, benefits, & power for care workers that keep people alive & make all other work possible. We are Transforming the Care Economy by building the power of Black, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx & Latinx women domestic workers, cleaners, nannies, childcare workers & home care aides to transform South Florida's exploitative care economy & confront poor working conditions, labor trafficking, wage theft & sexual harassment via labor-co-enforcement & domestic worker cooperatives.

MWC believes in community control of affordable, accessible housing with dignity, & the end of mass displacement. We fight for Housing Justice and build renter power to confront landlord abuse- we recently won a Tenant Bill of Rights, secured a new Tenant Advocate Office & funding for a Tenant Right to Counsel so that renters can defend against unscrupulous landlords & remain housed.
