Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

An Organization led by workers for workers, regardless of immigration status, dedicated to educating, building leadership, and gathering resources to develop organizing tools and collective strategies of resistance against labor rights abuses toward just living conditions for our families.

  • In the area of Education and Empowerment, the Organization carries out Community Defenders trainings, which are workshops that teach the tools available for workers to fight for their rights. It employs the workers' own experiences to learn from each other how to organize more effectively in their workplaces. Some of these workers can lend time and support to continue the Organization's work. Community Defenders educate themselves in labor rights and educate other workers, sharing experiences and knowledge, to fight for their rights and for jobs that pay living wages with better benefits that respect their health and humanity.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 May 2012, reinstated 15 August 2013.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
