“A grassroots, community organization that supports immigrants on issues of workplace rights and immigration. We work with the community, instructing them to execute their rights through organizing, advocacy, education, leadership, capacity building and civic participation. We join brazilians and other immigrants helping them to organize against economic, social, and political exclusion in order to create a more just society.”

“The brazilian worker center is a non-profit organization that capacitates immigrant workers to learn about workplace rights, immigration, and health equity. The organization empowers immigrants with knowledge and skills to promote economic, social, political, and racial justice for all. The bwc has established itself as a reputable, engaged, grassroots organization that represents, supports, and organizes the brazilian and wider immigrant community to take leadership in defending and advocating for their rights, as workers and immigrant residents of the state and nation. It is a strong women-led organization that serves immigrant communities with a concern for fairness and justice, civic engagement, cultural competence, and compassion. Bwc's service categories include 1) know your rights workshops, 2) health and wellness initiatives, 3) coalition building and campaign organizing, 4) building justice, 5) leadership development, and 6) community support services. Know your rights workshops: the brazilian worker center offers in person workshops for workers and domestic workers on workers' rights and labor laws every 15 days at our office located at 14 harvard ave, 2nd floor, allston. Our workers' rights project is our core program and is the foundation for all the initiatives, activities, educational sessions, and training that take place at bwc. In the last four years we have recouped approximately 3.5 million in restitution for workers, by direct mediation, through complaint referrals to state and federal labor authorities, or in small claims courts. Health and wellness initiatives: mulheres vencedoras is a women-led project developed and implemented by the brazilian worker center, inc. This mindfulness-based project intervention aims to disseminate the importance of mental health and wellness among immigrant workers who may experience chronic health issues, including cancer and anxiety, among others. Leadership development: at bwc, we assist immigrants with general information about the us legal system and differences between federal agencies and offer multiple programs to contribute to their capacity building. Among programs offered are: osha programs - the brazilian worker center has considerable experience delivering occupational safety and health training to workers in several industries common among immigrant workers in our community. Under the support of six susan harwood targeted training and capacity building grants since 2011, we have given portuguese- and spanish-language fall prevention training for residential construction. As of 2021, we are also offering infectious diseases and covid-19 programs for workers. Dreamers: empowerment program for immigrant youth - the dreamers project aims to capacitate immigrant youth, particularly spanish- and portuguese- speaking latinos with various knowledge and skills necessary to become empowered and productive citizens in the greater boston area. Bwc has co-founded the massachusetts immigrant collaborative (mic). The purpose of the collaboration is to address immigrant families' most urgent needs by providing direct financial relief and other resources. Joining forces has allowed mic to serve more than 13,000 immigrants since april 13, 2020. Coalition building and campaign organizing: coalition building and campaign organizing are two very important components of the bwc's work. Bwc co- chairs the driving families forward coalition on behalf of the work and family mobility act as well as the coalition to advance the wage theft bill in collaboration with afl-cio. Bwc was also a key leader in the four-year campaign to achieve a massachusetts domestic workers bill of rights in 2014. Since then, bwc created the domestic worker advocacy project (dwan) to educate workers and employers about their rights and responsibilities under the new law. Bwc's domestic worker rights booklet is used in this work; with partners such as studio rev of new york, and northeastern nu law lab, bwc als”
