The Center for Workers\u2019 Rights opened its doors in August of 2014 with the commitment to the improvement of working conditions for all low-wage workers and their families. Founded by Mariko Yoshihara and Daniela Urban, the Center focused on offering its free-of-cost services to all low-wage workers, focusing on the city of Sacramento and surrounding areas specifically, regardless of citizenship status. As the Center grew, we increasingly engaged in advocacy efforts at the city and state level, helping to bring necessary changes to the legal protections for workers. We continue to bring together workers and engage with new communities to broaden the organization’s impact.<\/p>\n
