WeCount! is a member-led organization of immigrant workers in South Florida. Since 2006, WeCount! has organized agricultural workers, construction workers, day laborers, and domestic workers to win better living and working conditions. Through education, leadership development, and bold campaigns, their members are building power to advance labor, immigrant, and climate justice in Florida. We’ve led and participated in historic fights, including the Que Calor campaign for the nation’s first countywide heat standard for outdoor workers and successful advocacy for a national Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement policy (also known as DALE) which provided deportation protections and work permits to thousands of immigrant workers across the country. Today, through Planting Justice (Sembrando Justicia), plant nursery workers, consumers, and community allies are coming together to end human rights abuses and transform labor standards in Florida’s plant industry. WeCount! continues to stand as a champion for immigrant workers and families, shaping a future rooted in dignity, respect, and justice for all.
