Whatever's happening at work, you don't have to figure it out alone.
OBWC is here whether you're dealing with a wage issue, want to understand your rights, need to know what comes next, or just want to be in a room with people who get it.
Support that starts
with where you are.
You don't need to know exactly what you need before reaching out. OBWC can help you understand your options, connect you with resources, and find your next step.
Know Your Rights
If something at work doesn't feel right, you deserve straight answers. We break down wage laws, workplace protections, and how to document and report violations. No runaround.
Backup When You Need It
Facing discrimination? Wage theft? Retaliation? Unsafe conditions? We work alongside you, not above you. And we support Black workers in taking action.
Leadership, Your Way
Ready to do more than just get through the shift? OBWC grows workers into organizers and advocates through real training and hands-on experience. You already have what it takes to start.
Resources and Connections
What happens outside of work matters too. We connect you to legal support, housing resources, workforce programs, and more. Across Oregon, not just Portland.
A Space to Breathe
Organizing is hard. Life is hard. OBWC holds space for wellness too: peer support, community gatherings, and yes, sometimes a nature walk. Because you have to take care of yourself to take care of anything else.
Community
Sometimes you just need to be in a room where you're not the only one. Our events, office hours, and listening sessions are built for that. Come as you are. That's the whole point.
Not sure if we can help?
Reach out anyway. We'll figure it out together.
