The Labor Force

Support Women in the Labor Movement!

The Labor Force is collecting donations, which we will bundle and donate to WILL Empower. Make a donation to support the next generation of labor leaders today.


WILL Empower's programs are already changing the face of labor leadership. Their Apprenticeship Program places activists in paid 3-12 month positions with unions and worker organizations across the nation. 


The Emerging Leaders Cohort develops leaders in the early stages of their work, while the Executive Leadership Cohort supports senior leadership in unions and worker justice organizations. Recent award recipients include Stacy Davis Gates of the Chicago Teachers Union and Claudia Quiñones Torrico of United We Dream—leaders who are winning real gains for working people.


This work is happening at a critical moment. As Huerta's story makes clear, women have always been central to labor's victories. But too often, their abuse is overshadowed by the stories of abusive men, forcing women in labor to choose between justice for themselves and justice for the movement. 


WILL Empower is building a future where no leader has to make that choice. But they need resources to train more leaders. 


Your donation will directly support apprenticeships, leadership cohorts, and the infrastructure needed to sustain a movement that centers gender and racial justice. This is how we build a labor movement that has room for everyone.


Please donate today to support WILL Empower and the next generation of labor leaders who will carry this work forward.
