Working Partnerships USA is a California-based nonprofit organization focused on policy campaigns that aim to influence national and local practice. Since its founding in 1995, the group has implemented initiatives such as the Children’s Health Initiative and campaigns to raise the minimum wage, as well as efforts like Gig Workers Rising, with the goal of shaping an economy that prioritizes people over profits and benefits low- and middle-income communities. The organization engages a coalition of workers, unions, researchers, and community partners to develop and advocate for policy solutions, including large-scale community benefits packages for San José. Its work is characterized by building campaigns that, once established, are intended to be adopted beyond the initial locality, reflecting a focus on systemic change within the nonprofit sector and broader public policy. The organization operates out of San Jose, California, and serves a clientele that includes workers and communities seeking labor-friendly and equitable policy outcomes. A recent development notes participation in the Making Tech Work for Workers convening, indicating ongoing collaboration with labor and advocacy groups across California.
