Black workers face a racialized political economy in which they are exploited because of their race and their class. As the NBWC grows and matures, each local Black Worker Center will develop unique ways to reflect how Black workers are impacted by the local racialized political economy. However, certain overarching principles shall guide the work: The Basic Mission of the National Black Worker Center: 1. To support and incubate Black worker centers that empower Black workers to advance their rights and improve the quality of jobs in key employment sectors; 2. To provide education about the impacts of low-wage work and unemployment on Black communities; and 3. To prevent racial discrimination in hiring and other employment practices and policies.

The Working While Black Expo (WWB Expo) serves as a catalyst for the transformation of workplaces and communities. It is a space where conversations are sparked, experiences shared, and strategies are developed to dismantle the barriers that have held Black workers back for far too long. This expo is more than just an event; it marks a turning point—a moment where we collectively declare that enough is enough, and change must happen. The fight for economic and racial justice is a long and arduous one, but the rewards are indisputable. Check out all of the events, sessions and activities here 👉🏾workingwhileblackexpo.org
