Raise the Floor Alliance is a Chicago-based nonprofit and legal clinic that concentrates on employment law for low-wage workers. It offers no-cost, direct legal assistance to workers in the greater Chicago area and surrounding suburbs, addressing workplace-law concerns. The organization also contributes legal expertise to inform policy development and campaigns, and pursues strategic cases to highlight gaps in current law and enforcement. In addition to litigation and legal services, the alliance conducts research, policy work, organizing and communications to support efforts that raise standards for workers through public and private policy changes. By uniting area worker centers, it seeks to amplify a collective voice for economic policies that foster permanent, full-time, family-supporting work. A recent development is its collaboration with Illinois Senate Democrats in March 2024 to introduce legislation aiming to protect immigrant workers.
