About Firelands Workers United / Trabajadores Unidos

Firelands Workers United/Trabajadores Unidos organizes with working-class power in rural timber counties in Washington State. We are working families in Grays Harbor and Pacific counties in rural Southwest Washington and the Olympic Peninsula joining together across race and language to fight for good green jobs & workers rights, affordable & healthy homes, healthcare, childcare, fair taxes, healthy forests, immigrant rights, and more. Our coastal, forested region is full of natural beauty and can-do people, but over the decades, big corporations have exploited our lands and labor and eroded union jobs. Public disinvestment via a regressive tax code has led to high poverty rates and the decay of our housing and other public goods. While some politicians in our region have backed these schemes, people are fed up with the rich and powerful calling the shots. Rural working families in Washington deserve better and we are organizing for a different future. Since forming in 2019, Firelands has played an outsized role in winning nationally-recognized statewide policy campaigns, from expanding healthcare access to transformative tax reforms to tenant protections to defending billions in public resources for schools, childcare and climate jobs. At the national level, we are recognized for our leadership in bilingual popular political education and public narrative strategy campaigns.
