Workers Justice Project (WJP)

We are building a new era of worker power. ✊🏾 Through organizing led by Workers Justice Project and Los Deliveristas Unidos—and historic partnerships with the NYS Attorney General’s Office, DCWP, and the Mamdani administration—workers are winning long-overdue justice and dignity, holding billionaires accountable whose business models rely on exploitation. From deliveristas to construction workers to cleaners, workers are shaping a future where dignity is non-negotiable and workers have power. On May 20, we celebrate the leaders, allies, and champions building this new era of immigrant worker power. 🎟️ Tickets: $225 per person 💥 $100 for activist allies (limited) ⏳ 15% off all tickets purchased before April 30 🤝 Sponsorship opportunities open (see bio link or visit bit.ly/WJP-Gala2026)

🚨Breaking: @losdeliveristasunidos_ny won $16.75M in stolen wages! A big Thank you to @newyorkstateag and her team for securing this landmark settlement protecting @doordash Deliveristas. 🙌🏾

BREAKING: Years of organizing, mobilizing & advocating are paying off! NYC Courts have ruled against the apps, in favor of implementing minimum pay for delivery app workers! #Deliveristas who keep our City running are one step closer to the fair wages they are owed. ✊ Multi-billion dollar companies will not profit off of the backs of immigrant workers and get away with it. This landmark victory is a stark reminder that workers will always win. Thank you to every supporter who stood with delivery workers & demanded this very moment!

✨We are proud to announce WJP’s 2026 Gala Labor Solidarity Champion Honoree: New York Taxi Workers Alliance (@ny.taxi.workers ) — a powerful union of yellow cab, green cab, black car, livery, and app-based drivers, including Uber and Lyft. NYTWA has shown what true labor solidarity looks like. They have been a guiding force and role model in how workers can organize and build union power on workers’ own terms to win rights, recognition, and respect for taxi workers, and to stand up to corporate greed unapologetically. Since the earliest days of Los Deliveristas Unidos, NYTWA has stood shoulder to shoulder with delivery workers — not just as allies, but as mentors, a sister union, and a constant presence of support. They have shown up consistently, led with courage, and demonstrated what it means to fight with integrity, dignity, and unwavering commitment to workers’ rights. We are proud to honor NYTWA for showing us what solidarity in the labor movement truly looks like — bold, principled, and unbreakable

✨We are proud to announce WJP’s 2026 Gala Labor Defender Honoree: New York State Attorney General Letitia James ✊🏽❤️ For her bold courage in standing up to corporate greed and securing $16.75 million from DoorDash for cheating delivery workers out of tips, Attorney General James has delivered real accountability and real justice for workers. Thank you for being a champion for New York’s immigrant workers and Deliveristas—fighting wage theft, recovering stolen earnings, and holding corporations like DoorDash accountable when they exploit working people. Attorney General James has unapologetically defended immigrant New Yorkers and never backed down from powerful corporations. She has shown what it means to use the power of her office as a critical line of defense for those whose rights have been trampled. We are proud to honor her decades-long leadership, and her partnership in the fight for justice for working people. We look forward to continuing this journey together, knowing New York’s workers have no fiercer advocate than Attorney General Letitia James.

We are proud to announce @workersjusticeproject ’s Gala Labor Champion Honoree: Commissioner Tricia Shimamura and the entire @nycparks team ✨ Together, we made history with the launch of the first-ever Deliverista Hub in the United States — a worker-designed rest, repair, and safe e-bike charging hub created for the 80,000 app delivery workers who keep New York City running every day. Located at City Hall Park, the Deliverista Hub is more than a physical space — it is a powerful statement that immigrant workers deserve dignity, safety, rest, and public investment. This groundbreaking partnership with NYC Parks is helping build a new vision for our city: one where public spaces also belong to workers. Thank you, Commissioner Shimamura and the NYC Parks team, for your leadership, partnership, and commitment to worker justice. We are honored to celebrate you at the WJP Gala as we continue building a new era of immigrant worker power. ✊🏽🔥

We are excited to announce WJP’s 2026 Workers Justice Champion Honorees: Council Member Shaun Abreu, Council Member Sandy Nurse, Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, Council Member Gale Brewer, and former Council Member Justin Brannan. We are deeply honored to recognize their bold leadership in advancing a historic legislative package that expanded minimum pay protections for 80,000 app-based delivery workers, secured just cause protections, and strengthened tip and pay transparency—setting a new standard for worker rights in our city. Thank you to this year’s Workers Justice Champion Honorees for your partnership, leadership, and unwavering commitment to building a new era of worker power. We are proud to celebrate you at our upcoming Gala as we continue advancing a stronger future for immigrant workers across our city.
