EBASE | Building Power with Workers, Community and People of Faith

Fair Development

As development booms and housing costs skyrocket, EBASE is ensuring that large projects meet the needs of low-income workers and communities of color. Public land must serve public good, so we organize for development that preserves diversity and creates opportunity for local workers.

Good Jobs

EBASE is changing the expectation of work by creating an economy where everyone's contributions are valued. Our campaigns for living wages, fair scheduling, and paid sick days are raising the floor on low-wage work. And we're expanding access to good jobs by creating training opportunities and fighting hiring discrimination.

Immigrant Rights

With federal policies dividing families and communities, it’s time to stand up to fear like never before. EBASE is fighting for policies that keep immigrants safe by expanding sanctuary policies in our neighborhoods and workplaces. Immigrant rights are essential to all of our campaigns for economic justice.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute, Jennifer Lin! #EBASEloveletters

“EBASE taught me how to ‘fight like a worker’, how to turn strategic research into support for strategic campaigns, how to bring drumming, yoga, and my ‘picket line Spanish’ to 7am boycott actions. EBASE showed me what it meant to organize strategic coalitions and show up for hotel housekeepers, fast food workers, waste and recycling workers, janitors, security guards, and all low-wage workers-- where ‘solidarity is the new I love you.’ EBASE is where an atheist and a Muslim were welcomed in a Christian church to talk about justice for workers and community. I love EBASE—the organization, staff, workers, and allies—for the love it gives to the movement for worker justice.”

Lots of love right back atcha!! ❤️❤️❤️

We just got another #EBASEloveletter! From our dear friend Dr. Steven Pitts at the UC Berkeley Labor Center 😃

“Why I Love EBASE…

EBASE is committed to ensuring the fight for economic justice occurs simultaneously with the fight for racial justice.

EBASE is committed to ask the hard questions and do the hard work so that labor unions and communities can develop principled relationships.

EBASE is committed to producing research that supports social change work on the ground and does not just gather dust on a shelf.”

Thanks for the love, Steven! Here's to many more years of struggle and victory.❤️

White supremacy is not an “alt” movement. It is internalized by everyone and embedded in our economy.

Ban the Box for Racial Justice

Only 5% of African-Americans with a criminal record get called back by employers. "Ban the Box" provides a fair chance to advance.
