    ARISE CHICAGO

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $240,000

    Arise Chicago continues to organize to improve public policy for low-wage workers. We continue to organize to optimize the actions of key government agencies that are charged with protecting workers’ rights. This includes holding agencies accountable to use their maximum enforcement capacities, improving administrative actions, establishing inter-agency coordination, and more. Arise celebrates the momentum we’ve built over the last grant period, including progress from the Chicago Mayor’s Protecting Workers Working Group,the passage of the Chi Biz Strong ordinance, and a burgeoning partnership with the Cook County Commission on Human Rights. Continuing this trajectory, Arise Chicago seeks to ensure low-wage worker voices are driving the decision-making regarding policies that impact their lives. Action at each level of government will decrease COVID’s impact on low-wage immigrants and communities of color in the short term, and improve the agencies’ practices for building the collective power of workers in the long term.
