Our National Network
CASE is a proud member of the Partnership for Working Families national network.
The Partnership for Working Families (PWF) is a movement dedicated to building power and reshaping the economy and urban environment for workers and communities. Our member organizations share a commitment to expanding and connecting community and worker organizing for quality jobs, affordable housing, shared prosperity, and a healthy environment.
In this era of hope, we are building our capacity to win big in cities, and adding it up to move a national agenda for change. Through strong alliances with environmental, labor, faith-based and civil rights organizations, we are dreaming and organizing together toward an economic expansion that rises above environmental and economic exploitation.
As our Partnership grows, we are moving industry-wide campaigns involving multiple cities to inform local and federal policy for the long haul. Our nationally coordinated efforts are creating good and green jobs through transforming ports and the goods movement sector, expanding construction career opportunities, and achieving transparent and inclusive government processes and development projects.
