Organization Description

KIWA's mission is to empower Koreatown's low-wage immigrant workers for dignity and respect in the workplace and community, and to work together with other communities to realize a vision of a just Los Angeles. One of the nation's most established workers centers, KIWA is one of few community groups to organize both Korean and Latino workers. Our vision is to bring together workers, community members, and students in a broad, multi-ethnic coalition.

KIWA's primary initiatives focus on workers' rights, equitable development, and imigrants' justice. All our efforts are grounded in a commitment to economic, social and environmental justice and in the belief that human beings can effect real change. Our strategic approach combines cross-recial grassroots organizing, leadership development, direct services, advocacy, cultural resistance programs, community-based research and multi-ethnic coalition building.
