Faith and Justice Worker Center is the premier worker rights community organization in Houston. For the past fourteen years, we have provided educational workshops to the public, leadership trainings for low wage workers, provided wage theft case resolution services and lead advocacy campaigns for worker rights. FJWC exists because we believe everyone should have a safe and healthy workplace, and we believe in working-class people’s collective power to create change. In the wake of the pandemic, FJWC has created a Board of Advisors to take initiative in creating programs, providing financial and legal support. ​Workers in Houston routinely experience wage theft, unsafe workplaces resulting in injuries and deaths, discrimination, threats, sexual and other violence at work, and labor trafficking. All these issues are decisively prevalent and most frequently met with impunity, and we see them as violence against working class people. Even the most “simple” case of wage theft can result in a worker and their family being evicted, eating fewer and less nutritious meals, or having their car taken away from them. We see the negligent enforcement and outright lack of worker rights in Texas as major determinants of social inequalities, and we see workers’ collective power as the key to not only achieve better working conditions, but also to address the current immigration and democratic crisis. To achieve this social change Fe Y Justicia Worker Center has created Board of Advisors, a group of individuals who will offer new insights to our organization. We are all looking forward to working with them on a one on one basis with hopes of developing further goals that will be of great benefit to our communities.
