At Coworker, we believe people should have agency and power in their work lives. Most of us will spend a third of our adult lives at work—more time than we will spend with our families, in school, or participating in our community’s civic life. And yet many of us are silenced and unseen at our jobs. We deserve to have a voice in shaping our working conditions and the ways in which work happens. We are powerful, and together, we can transform our jobs and workplaces.

I decided to launch a campaign on Coworker.org to address my own experiences with sexual harassment in the workplace.

We collaborated on a petition delivery, met with elected officials, told our story in the media, and even created special t-shirts to promote our campaign.
