Worker's rights advocacy

In collaboration with grassroots organizations, we provide case management, support, and advocacy in cases of wage theft, labor trafficking, and other labor claims against employers.

The FCC provides support services, outreach, and education to the primarily low-income, recent immigrant, and limited-English- proficient Filipino community in and around San Francisco. For over 12 years, the FCC has built trust and visibility in the Filipino community in advocating for immigrant and workers’ rights, collaborating with legal support, ethnic media outlets, and government agencies to help workers win over $2,000,000 in back wages, overtime, and other compensation. FCC has had a strategic focus on preventing wage theft in the Filipino-concentrated caregiving industry, as well as hotel, restaurant, and other low-wage workers.

Kabataan (“Youth” in Filipino) is a youth leadership program that serves Filipino high school youth in San Francisco with the opportunities and skills needed in their own lives, schools, and communities.
