About Us
Based in Silicon Valley, we tackle the root causes of inequality and poverty by leading collaborative campaigns for quality jobs, healthy communities, equitable growth and vibrant democracy. We build the capacity of workers, low-income neighborhoods and communities of color to lead and govern.
As the world looks to Silicon Valley as a model for economic growth, Working Partnerships is uniquely positioned to demonstrate how innovation infused with equity can work to shape a new economy of shared prosperity.
We are building an inclusive regional economy where workers and neighborhoods thrive, and where people of color, immigrants, women, and low-income residents have an equal voice and share equally in regional prosperity.
We believe community-driven change begins at the local level, where government and corporate policymakers are close enough to the ground to see their success as connected to our own. The future of our democracy depends upon our ability to simultaneously increase government’s vitality and strengthen its accountability.
We employ four core strategies to address the root causes of economic inequality in our region:
Our commitment to transformative change requires us to move people to act on shared values in ways that build power, change policy, and define institutions.
