─ What we do

America's workers deserve a seat at the innovation table.

─ What we do
The Future of Workers Initiative brings together workers, organizers, and community members to share stories, map risks and opportunities, and co-create practical standards for fair and dignified work.

We also work with investors, founders, CEOs, and boards to translate worker insights into concrete standards, policies, and decision-making tools.

The Future of Workers Initiative is a nonpartisan project focused on worker education and storytelling. It is independent from any electoral campaign.
