Fuerza Unida's mission is to educate, empower and organize workers to become advocates for social change, organizers for economic justice and full participants in the democratic process. Our purpose is to advance the rights of women, workers and low-income communities by providing education, training, guidance and accessible information so that they may protect their rights and those of their families and communities. We are rooted in the struggle for systemic change in the workplace, communities, and environment of workers and women locally, and reach out to our compañera/os worldwide. Through our collaborations with organizations and instititutions, we build a united force, una fuerza unida, that emphasizes the voices of people of color, women, youth and immigrants within the working class.

Since 1990, our journey has given us both the challenge and opportunity to become resourceful human beings and community based leaders. A life long lesson that we, the women of Fuerza Unida, have obtained and continue to teach is that organizing is key to creating solutions and implementing change for low/moderate income, working class women and communities. This is why we proceed to think and act both locally as well as on a global front since we acknowledge that we are part of a larger social movement and civil society. We work to address long-term institutional change by taking direct action and expanding community control over economic, social and environmental decisions affecting our community's sustainability.

Nuestra Mision

La Misión de Fuerza Unida es educar, empoderar, y organizar a trabajadores para que se conviertan en promotores por un cambio social, organizadores por justicia económica y participantes en el proceso democrático. Nuestro propósito es avanzar los derechos de la mujer, trabajadores y comunidades de bajos ingresos otorgándoles educación, entrenamiento, guia e información accesible para que puedan proteger sus derechos y los de sus familias y comunidades. Nuestras raíces se encuentran en la lucha por un cambio al sistema en las plantas de trabajo, comunidades y el ambiente de trabajadoras y trabajadores locales y extender nuestra solidaridad a compañeras y compañeros en todo el mundo. Por medio de nuestra colaboración con organizaciones e instituciones, construimos una fuerza unida que pone énfasis las voces de gente latina, indígena, africana, mujer, joven, anciano e inmigrante dentro de la clase trabajadora.
