The New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice is dedicated to building worker power, advancing racial justice, and organizing workers across race and industry to build a social movement in post-Katrina New Orleans.
El Centro de Trabajadores por la Justicia Racial de Nueva Orleans esta dedicado a la construcción del poder del trabajador, al avance por la justicia racial y la organización de trabajadores de todas razas y industrias para la creación de un movimiento social en Nuevo Orleans.
NOWCRJ’s projects include the Alliance of Guestworkers for Dignity, the Congress of Day Laborers, and the Homeless Organizing Project.
I heard that some of the guest workers were working in factories in southern Mississippi, that’s not too far from me in Birmingham, AL. If there is something I can do to help please send me an e-mail. I teach labor relations at the Center for Labor Education and Research at the University of Alabama and am a California licensed attorney. At the very least I could inform my students, most of whom are union members, about what’s happening with the guest workers and why it’s important that they support them.
In Unity,
Marc Cryer
