Center for Work and Democracy

Empowering working people

Amplifying voices, creating change

The Center for Work and Democracy was founded in 2019 to connect university knowledge production to the challenges facing working people in our increasingly plutocratic society.

The Center understands that working people have been marginalized in our polity, and conducts research with organizations whose missions are to increase the voice and power of the working class in order to support greater social change.
