The Southern California Black Worker Hub for Regional Organizing advocates for the economic empowerment of Black workers throughout the region. We do that by supporting Black Worker Centers in Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and San Diego as they fight for economic inclusion and opportunity for the region's Black workers. A 2024 WorkSafe Health & Safety award recipient, the Hub has contacted thousands of Black workers to share life saving occupational health and safety information.
