United for Respect is a multiracial movement focused on advocating for the rights and dignity of working people. Operating primarily in the United States, the organization targets large corporations to ensure fair pay, predictable work hours, and respect in the workplace. By mobilizing workers and leveraging public campaigns, United for Respect aims to redistribute wealth from corporations to working families, securing benefits such as paid family leave and a fair workweek. The organization serves a diverse clientele of working individuals, particularly those employed by major corporations like Walmart. Its business model revolves around grassroots organizing and advocacy, funded through donations and partnerships with other social justice entities. United for Respect has successfully influenced corporate policies and legislative measures, impacting nearly two million workers. The movement's efforts have led to significant victories, including the redistribution of $3 billion in wealth to working families.
