MWC believes in visibility, respect, higher wages, benefits, & power for care workers that keep people alive & make all other work possible. We are Transforming the Care Economy by building the power of Black, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx & Latinx women domestic workers, cleaners, nannies, childcare workers & home care aides to transform South Florida's exploitative care economy & confront poor working conditions, labor trafficking, wage theft & sexual harassment via labor-co-enforcement & domestic worker cooperatives.

MWC believes in community control of affordable, accessible housing with dignity, & the end of mass displacement. We fight for Housing Justice and build renter power to confront landlord abuse- we recently won a Tenant Bill of Rights, secured a new Tenant Advocate Office & funding for a Tenant Right to Counsel so that renters can defend against unscrupulous landlords & remain housed.

MWC believes in community control over public land to protect our neighborhoods from wasteful luxury development & climate gentrification; access to clean air, water, fresh food, & green spaces for our children & families. We demand Environmental Justice and a Just Recovery by mobilizing mutual-aid supports through our Emergency Operations Center & our Sisters in Struggle Mutual Aid Program offering mothers of color solidarity, sisterhood & direct relief- rental relief, & costly items - diapers, feminine hygiene products & PPE.

MWC believes in autonomy over our bodies, access to what we need in order to heal from trauma & protect the health & well-being of ourselves & our children. We demand Reproductive Justice & We build the political power Black and brown women. MWC 's campaigns shift the public narrative & advancing policy reforms that respond to the needs of Black and brown women, secure sexual & reproductive health & rights for all; support Black women's emotional health & well-being; & end gender-based violence.

Mission

Miami Workers Center builds power alongside Black and Brown working-class tenants, workers, women, and families in Miami-Dade County. Through leadership development and grassroots campaigns, we seek to transform our workplaces and neighborhoods to win the respect, rights, and resources we all deserve.

We build dynamic movements which center the experiences, realities and leadership of Black and brown women and families. We mobilize our base, working-class tenants and care economy workers (domestic workers, cleaners and home care workers) to build Miami-Dade in which we all can live in our full dignity with self-determination over our bodies, our labor, and our neighborhoods.
