What We Do
We raise and distribute charitable funds to workers who’ve lost income after being punished by their employers for standing up for their rights on the job.
Who We Are
Our dedicated team is driven by a deep commitment to equality, workers’ rights, and the just cause of the labor movement.
How You Can Help
Your contributions, whether through donations, volunteering, or helping raise funds are essential in supporting those who fight for their workplace rights and suffer financial harm for their efforts.
We Stand With Workers
At Worker Solidarity & Defense Foundation (WSDF), we believe no one should lose their job, income, or stability just for standing up for what’s right at work. Every worker deserves dignity, respect, and support when they need it most.
Illegal retaliation is happening in every state—and most people never see it. We do.
We’re one of the only organizations in the country providing direct, charitable financial help to workers punished for organizing. When retaliation hits and support is hard to find, we show up—because workers shouldn’t be denied unemployment, blacklisted, or left with nothing just for standing up.
Real Stories. Real Impact.
“When my coworkers and I demanded union recognition after months of concerted activity, my employer retaliated against me for ‘insubordination.’ The loss of my job put strain on my fiancee and entire family– I was on the search for a new job the day I got fired. The check from WSDF really helped to fill that gap.”
