Our Mission
The Miguel Contreras Foundation (MCF), a program partner of the LA Federation of Labor, is committed to building coalitions and aligning resources within the LA region to create equitable opportunities for all workers. By working with local agencies, labor unions, and community partners, MCF ensures that investments in workforce development address broader social challenges, such as homelessness, mutual aid, and child care.
Inequality Locks Workers Out of the Political and Economic Systems That Shape Their Lives.
MCF continues the legacy of the late Miguel Contreras, who helped change the landscape of Los Angeles by bringing overlooked workers into labor and political leadership.
Our Approach
We build opportunities for workers to:
Find better jobs, create fair and safe workplaces, and find their voice.
