Brandworkers connects retail and food employees with concerned citizens to win justice!
The totals are in and the Brandworkers May Day fundraising appeal achieved and beat our goal of raising $5,000 in just ten days! Over one hundred of you gave and we raised just over $6,500. These funds help ensure that NYC's food processing and distribution workers keep receiving the very best in training and support to organize and win. Thank you for all of your solidarity!
You heard our call for solidarity and you responded! We are thrilled to report that drivers at Tom Cat Bakery have won their first big victory!
Brandworkers members are transforming their jobs and helping remake the labor movement through worker-led organizing and direct action. Help Brandworkers keep pace with the fast-growing demand from workers for the kind of organizing support it takes to win.
Make a contribution to Brandworkers in honor of international workers' day and help us hit our goal of $5000 raised by May 1st. Thank you.

Focus on the Food Chain has been hard at work seeking justice in the crushing death of Juan Baten, who was killed just over a year ago in a Brooklyn tortilla factory. We've been working closely with Juan's widow, Rosario, to honor Juan's memory, hold his employer accountable, and to do everything in our power to make sure such a tragedy isn't repeated in New York's food supply chain.
