Black workers face a racialized political economy in which they are exploited because of their race and their class. As the NBWC grows and matures, each local Black Worker Center will develop unique ways to reflect how Black workers are impacted by the local racialized political economy. However, certain overarching principles shall guide the work: The Basic Mission of the National Black Worker Center: 1. To support and incubate Black worker centers that empower Black workers to advance their rights and improve the quality of jobs in key employment sectors; 2. To provide education about the impacts of low-wage work and unemployment on Black communities; and 3. To prevent racial discrimination in hiring and other employment practices and policies.

As we continue to process the devastation the Southern California wildfires brought, we're sending love and support to all who have been impacted. It's not lost on us that communities rich in Black history and culture like Altadena and Pasadena have been completely destroyed. The generational wealth that comes with home ownership? Completely destroyed. We can't talk about financial justice without talking about racial justice or without talking about climate justice. Solidarity is the only thing that will save us.
