Defending Workers. Building Power. Fueling Movements.

GLOW uses a combination of law and organizing strategies to build transformative worker power and fuel the low-wage worker movement. Rooted in an unshakable belief in people power, we partner with worker organizations to challenge exploitative employment practices, empower workers, and fight for a world where our people and planet can thrive.

Get to know us

Grassroots Law & Organizing for Workers (GLOW) is a racial and economic justice organization dedicated to shifting the balance of power towards greater equity in our economy and society by leveraging legal strategies and resources to build worker power and enhance the capacity of the low-wage worker movement.

We work in deep collaboration with worker centers and base-building organizations, not just during moments of crisis, but on an ongoing basis to enhance the long-term sustainability of the low-wage worker movement. Together, we leverage legal resources to empower workers to challenge exploitative working conditions, engage in collective action, and advance policies that build wealth and power in poor and working-class communities.  

Our Approach

  • The way temporary staffing agencies treated me as a Black man trying to get a job made me feel like I was nothing. Once I connected with my attorney and we brought a lawsuit, I gained back some self-respect.
