New Resources for Low-Wage, Immigrant Advocates

Our friends at the National Employment Law Project (NELP) just released several great new resources for advocates who fight for low-wage and immigrant workers.

The resources include ways to protect the rights of low-wage and immigrant workers. They also provide strategies to combat anti-immigrant legislation and arguments to support economic development that works for all people.
