California: Our Community
WORKERS RIGHTS
Our Supermarket Swindle campaign with the Los Angeles Alliance and Los Angeles for a
New Economy alerted the public to the fact that California grocery
workers had not received a wage increase in five years, and thousands were
without health care. As a result of our online video campaign, thousands
voiced their support for the union representing 65,000 store employees and
the grocery chains agreed to a settlement, which was welcomed by union
members and ended nearly seven months of negotiations.
California Nurses Speak Up
After Governor Schwarzenegger attacked the California Nurses Association as a "special interest" group, Brave New Foundation put together a powerful commercial -- in a matter of three days -- that helped the nurses get their message out in order to better represent themselves and the issues at stake for all Californians. IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
More than 20 advocacy organizations worked with us on our Dream
Act campaign on immigrant student rights and it inspired strategy
conferences with California organizations and student activists. It has
been featured in Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, Alternet, Citizen Orange,
MyDD, Long Island Wins, among others.
