The New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice is a non-profit
organization dedicated to organizing workers across race and industry
to build the power and participation of workers and communities. The
Alliance of Guestworkers for Dignity, an organizing project of the
Workers’ Center, led a campaign to support trafficked guestworkers in
Tennessee in their assertion of their rights in 2010. The Workers’
Center is now currently in the midst of litigation following the
campaign and is searching for Spanish-speaking volunteers to help
conclude the first round of discovery in the case.
Volunteers would conduct short fact-checking interviews with workers or/and
approximately one-hour client phone interviews using pre-
drafted questions to collect the necessary information. All
interviews must be conducted in Spanish. If possible, volunteers
would also translate to English the information collected.

attorney on the case, at jmao [at] nowcrj.org.
