He understands that addressing wage theft and lifting up working people are essential to public safety.
March 3, 2022, 12:30pm – 2:00pm EST, Zoom Webinar
RSVP today to hear this case study—perfect for community organizers, advocates, lawyers, and state and local governments working to move the needle towards equitable enforcement and justice.
Featured guests will articulate the vital link between economic justice and public safety. Survivors of economic abuse like wage theft are 4.5 times more likely to have also been a victim of violent crime, which in turn leads to financial fallout, putting communities at even higher risk of abuse as workers, consumers, or tenants.
