PWC (Pilipino Workers Center)
Pilipino Workers Center aims to secure the dignity and safety of the Pilipinx community in Southern California and build labor leaders in the domestic worker industry.
Founded in 1997, Pilipino Workers Center (PWC) is a non-profit that organizes the low-wage Pilipino community in Southern California to demand better living and working conditions. In this current national and political climate where immigrant rights are being attacked and quickly eroded, domestic workers are pushed even more into vulnerable and exploitative working situations. PWC does their part by providing support for human trafficking survivors, immigration legal services, affordable housing, workforce certification training, education on workers’ rights, enforcement of wage theft, free tax preparation, and a cooperative for homecare workers. Although most of our work is centered in Los Angeles and San Diego, we have assisted clients across the country.
