The Heartland Center for Jobs & Freedom creates opportunities for workers and tenants to learn and exercise their rights, realize their collective power, and develop the leadership skills necessary to advocate for a racially and economically just society.
We are the only organization in the region that actively empowers low-wage workers and tenants with the tools they need to fight back when their rights are violated.
To learn more about what we do, read our 2025 annual report.
