Working Partnerships is a public policy and research institute that builds partnerships with community groups, labor unions, and faith based organizations to improve the lives of working families in Silicon Valley.
By combining the skills of research and policy development, advocacy, and organizing, we create innovative, practical solutions to problems facing working people and the middle class. Our accomplishments include winning a living wage for workers in San Jose, pioneering universal health insurance for children in Santa Clara County, and ensuring that public subsidies for local economic development are accountable to the community.
We strive to create replicable and scalable models for action and to share these statewide and nationally.
Since the organization began, Working Partnerships USA has researched and released a series of ground-breaking reports which provide factual analysis of a variety of issues. The work ranges from assessments of the impact of the evolving Silicon Valley economy on the lowest-paid Valley residents, to a look at the investment of taxpayer money through public subsidies.
