The Pioneer Valley Workers’ Center builds power with low-wage and immigrant workers throughout Western Massachusetts.

We rely on donations from people like you!

“This year, I had the opportunity to become a member of the Workers Center, and then a member of the Board of Directors. As a farmworker, I am aware of the many needs that the immigrant community has. I have lived through and seen many of the abuses that employers inflict on their workers, and the contempt we receive. I have felt the impotence of not knowing who to ask for help. Now, as a member of the Workers Center and the Board of Directors, I know that knowledge is power. The Workers Center spreads this power within the community. "--Jose M.

 

The Worker Center is driven by the people power of thousands of folks like you, in every sense. Over the past five years, we’ve built a strong grassroots network of activists who share their time and talents to support worker-led campaigns. Together, we are part of building a multi-racial and multi-class movement, organizing for immigrants’ and workers’ rights. We’ve accomplished a lot, including:

  • Launching a campaign for licenses for all in collaboration with a state-wide coalition, mobilizing thousands to participate in actions and advocacy.
  • Sustaining and growing resilient mutual aid networks to support our members.
  • Growing our Worker Committees to 300 members.
  • Supporting two immigrant leaders as they continue to fight for their freedom from sanctuary.
  • Incubating a worker coop farm with our farmworker members.

With you, we can accomplish so much more! This winter, we need to raise $30,000 to fuel all this work. Keep growing with us! Sustain our work. Make a one time gift or consider becoming an official member by making a monthly pledge.

Sustain us by giving monthly

The Worker Center depends on people like you keep us running. Truly. We ask that all members of Sanctuary in The Streets consider becoming paying members, which you can do here, or by making yearly pledges to support our work.

Anything you can give goes a long way here. We are grateful to those members who pledge $2/month, to those who give $480 a year and to those whose gifts are much larger or in between.

Sustain our work. Just be sure to check “Make this a recurring donation”.

Support Undocumented Workers

Undocumented workers are the backbone of our food system and our economy. This fund assists undocumented workers in Western Massachusetts who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic but are excluded from unemployment insurance and other federally-funded safety net programs.

Donations by check should be to "Pioneer Valley Workers Center" with "Solidarity Fund" on the memo line, and sent to us at 20 Hampton Ave #200, Northampton, MA 01060.
