The Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom is a non-profit organization based in Kansas City, MO, dedicated to empowering low-wage workers and advocating for a racially and economically just society. They provide no-cost legal advice and representation to tenants facing eviction, support movements to improve wages and working conditions, and handle employment and consumer cases on behalf of low-wage workers. The Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom is the region's only organization actively empowering workers with the tools they need to fight back when their rights are violated. Through their tenant toolkits, legal services, and support for social justice movements, they strive to create opportunities for workers to learn and exercise their rights, realize their collective power, and develop leadership skills.Generated from the website
