The Women Workers United – Trabajadoras Unidas (WWU/TU) project was launched in spring 2016 to be a mutual support group for Latina women workers where they can connect, organize, and take action. The group focuses on issues like sexual harassment in the workplace, unequal pay, gender and pregnancy discrimination, and access to benefits. This second Mary’s Pence Grant will fuel leadership training for young women peer educators who lead at events, marches, and rallies, as well as organize direct actions on behalf of the Workers’ Rights Center.
