Immigrant Workers: The Cornerstone of Labor

Immigrant workers form the backbone of many industries in the United States, including construction, manufacturing, and agriculture. Despite their indispensable contributions, they often face exploitation and discrimination, lacking the legal protections and fair treatment afforded to other workers.

Community organizations play a vital role in facilitating collaboration between immigrant workers and faith activists. They establish networks, bridge gaps, and provide logistical support for labor organizing efforts.
