New Orleans Workers Center for Racial Justice:  The New Orleans Workers Center for Racial Justice, founded in 2006, organizes across lines of race and industry in order to transform workers' current vulnerability into civic participation and power, multi-ethnic/inter-community trust, and a just reconstruction of New Orleans. Current campaigns include organizing day laborers, foreign guestworkers around the Gulf Coast region, as well as displaced New Orleans residents now housed in FEMA trailer camps. HSF made a grant award of $15,000 toward strategic planning, base-building, leadership development, refining the membership structure, and campaigns which intentionally bring together African American and immigrant workers around a Just Reconstruction agenda.
