About Us

Who We Are

All Workers Matter is a Sacramento-based community advocacy initiative dedicated to advancing workforce equity and economic inclusion.

Our Mission

We promote equal access to employment opportunities, transparency, accountability, and economic inclusion on publicly funded Capital Improvement Projects and large private construction and development projects throughout the Sacramento region.

Our approach is fact-based, research-driven, and solution-oriented. We believe complex workforce issues are best addressed through collaboration, data analysis, and constructive civic engagement rather than confrontation.

We focus on measurable outcomes, documented research, and practical policy recommendations that can make a real difference in the lives of workers and communities.
