United for Respect Education Fund

United for Respect Education Fund elevates the voices of those employed in the retail economy to ensure industry leaders and policymakers provide jobs that lead to a safe and economically secure life. Through our online peer networks and on-the-ground base-building strategies we build the leadership of people working in low-income jobs to share their stories and advocate with allied organizations for real solutions to the pressing needs of the country's massive low-wage workforce.
