Building Florida's Future From the Ground Up

Miami Workers Center and Power U for Social Change are joining together as the Center for People Power to build the collective power of working-class communities in Miami-Dade County.

1999 – 2026

Decades of Influence

For nearly three decades, Miami Workers Center (MWC) and Power U for Social Change (Power U) have worked side by side to build the collective power of working-class Black and Brown communities in Miami-Dade County.

HOUSING
Defended Black tenants' rights by preserving public housing in Liberty City and forming the first renters association in Overtown; expanded tenants' rights countywide with the Tenant Bill of Rights and Eviction Diversion Project.

IMMIGRANT AND WORKERS' RIGHTS
Defended immigrants, workers rights and recovered thousands of dollars in unpaid wages through outreach and education programs

YOUTH EDUCATION JUSTICE
Fought back against the school-to-prison pipeline through education, storytelling, research, and advocacy

ENVIRONMENTAL AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE
Opposed toxic dumping and building soundwalls; increased students' access to reproductive and mental health resources by tackling period poverty and student criminalization.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Shaped the national movement ecosystem by developing leaders through our ranks (Data for Black Lives, RTTC, BOLD, Reframe, SURJ)

poto sant pou pouvwa pèp la

Kat poto sa yo dekri priyorite estratejik ki pral gide travay nou nan ane k ap vini yo.

Yon avni fonse ansanm

Fizyon sa a gen 25 an depi l ap fèt. Li fèt entansyonèl, estratejik, epi li rekonèt ke pandan 25 dènye ane yo,MWC ak Power U te pi fò lè nou te ini.Nou pataje anplwaye, espas biwo, epi nou kolabore sou pwogram ak kanpay. Fizyon sa a reyini istwa, lidèchip ak enfrastrikti òganizasyonèl nou pataje a pou nou ka fè fas ak moman sa a avèk plis fòs, kowòdinasyon ak dirabilite.

Konsolidasyon lidèchip, gouvènans, operasyon, ak enfrastrikti ogmante kapasite nou pou envesti nan devlopman òganizatè, apwofondi konstriksyon baz, epi kowòdone kanpay ki reponn a anplitid defi kominote nou yo ap fè fas.

Òganizasyon ki fizyone a pral gide pa yon estrikti gouvènans ki anrasinen nan responsablite kominotè a ak yon sipèvizyon solid nan men konsèy administrasyon an pou asire dirabilite alontèm ak yon jesyon responsab travay ak resous òganizasyon an.

Fizyon sa a mete nou nan yon pozisyon pou nou depase efò fragmenté yo epi ale nan direksyon yon estrateji pataje ki kapab konfwonte yon opozisyon byen finanse e kowòdone pandan n ap bati yon pouvwa ki dire. Enpak antisipe nan fizyon sa a se yon ekosistèm mouvman ki pi solid e ki pi rezistan nan Miami-Dade County: yon ekosistèm kote òganizasyon an kontinye, lidèchip la devlope san rete, resous yo jere avèk efikasite, epi kominote yo pi byen pozisyone pou genyen chanjman estriktirèl.

Vizyon nou klè: yon mouvman ki pa sèlman ap goumen kont enjistis men k ap aktivman bati mond nou merite a.

CENTER FOR PEOPLE POWER

MISSION

The Center for People Power organizes with working-class families to be agents of change in confronting everyday challenges in our lives and community. Through place-based grassroots campaigns, leadership development and training, culture and narrative, electoral organizing, and community-rooted initiatives, we advance people-led solutions that create a society in the interest of the many instead of an elite few.

VISION

A future where the abundance that our communities create is shared equitably and responsibly, where we all realize our full potential with dignity, respect, safety, and care.
