Democracy at Work Fund:
A Solidarity Fund for Workers on the Frontlines.

The Fund prioritizes efforts led directly by workers in the informal economy, by women and migrant-led organizations, as well as efforts at the intersection of workers’ rights, gender justice, racial justice, and climate justice.
