Welcome
to LELO!
LELO is a 33 year old racial and
economic justice workers' rights 501c3 nonprofit organization.
As an organization led by ordinary workers, we develop the leadership
of those most marginalized in our society: people of color,
working class women, recent immigrants and LGBTQ (lesbian/ gay/
bisexual/ transgender/ queer) workers. Our primary social
change strategy is local organizing, with a heavy emphasis on
political education and networks of solidarity with workers across
the globe. Learn more about us. |
