Tenants & Workers United
DC Metro
TWU is a democratically-controlled, grassroots organization committed to building the power of low-income people – Latinos/as, African Americans, immigrants, tenants, workers, women and youth – for racial and economic justice in Northern Virginia. Our focus is on multi-issue community organizing, civic engagement and leadership development to build a new majority of active low-income people of color who create change locally, regionally and nationally. We organize for uninsured access to healthcare for low-income people, equal educational opportunities for students of color in local public schools, preserving affordable housing in rapidly gentrifying Northern Virginia, immigrant rights and low-wage worker rights. TWU’s constituency is primarily multi-national immigrants residing in Alexandria, Fairfax County and Prince William County. TWU is committed to grassroots leadership: our members are the primary movers of our campaigns, and our Board of Directors is comprised entirely of members.
