This year’s People’s Power Awards theme is Together We are Home to bring attention to the housing crisis that immigrant and working class communities of color are facing and how our members are organizing to fight for respect and dignity for all. We are also celebrating historic wins and a year of expansion. In 2023, our members:

  • Organized to win protections for tenants, legal representation and safe and affordable housing;

  • Won the nation’s first and strongest Temp Workers Bill of Rights, which went into effect earlier this week, to provide historic protections to hundreds of thousands of long exploited essential temp workers in the logistics sector in New Jersey;

  • Opened a pop-up New Americans Resource Center for new migrants to receive information and services;

  • Launched new, thriving community centers in Perth Amboy and Passaic, NJ;

  • Joined the Cover All Kids Initiative and enrolled more than 300 families in NJ Familycare;

  • Provided direct legal representation to hundreds of immigrant families, tenants and workers;

  • Guided more than 300 youth in the college application process and secured more that $5 million in scholarships;

  • Provided more than 100,000 low income people of color with access to vaccines and vaccine information to advance health equity in our state;

  • And so much more

Please join us to celebrate our victories and recommit to the fight ahead. Will you sign up to sponsor the event? Information is below:
