We organize day laborers and community members to come together to create better working conditions and to push for government policies that will respect the rights of day laborers to seek work in peace.
Our message to decisionmakers is that repression of day laborers who are just looking for jobs is not only an ineffective way to address the issue, it actually increases human rights violations. For statistical evidence, see our Study of Long Island Day Laborers, conducted in conjunction with Hofstra University.
