Arriba Las Vegas Worker Center

What Arriba Las Vegas Worker Center does

Arriba Las Vegas Worker Center is a 501(c)-style grassroots nonprofit organization founded in 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada, that serves day laborers, domestic workers, and low-wage migrant workers in Southern Nevada. The organization's mission is to inform, empower, and organize immigrant worker-led movements for inclusion, dignity, and justice. All services are delivered at no cost to participants.

The core service portfolio is structured around three pillars: workplace safety training, immigration protection advocacy, and rapid response mobilization. The training arm delivers OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 Construction Industry courses, plus Heat Illness Prevention, Fall Prevention, and Cleaning Chemical Safety modules, all in Spanish and funded through the federal Susan Harwood Training Grant Program administered by the US Department of Labor OSHA. The advocacy arm is anchored by the DALE (Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement) Campaign, which Arriba workers helped pressure DHS to formalize, providing deportation protection and work authorization to undocumented workers who report labor abuses. The DALE Labor Toolkit supports other worker advocates in replicating the model. The mobilization arm consists of volunteer-driven Stop Wage Theft and Stop Deportations Rapid Response Teams.

The organization is led by Executive Director Bliss Requa-Trautz, supported by four additional named staff and organizers. Revenue is generated exclusively through individual donations (processed via ActionNetwork) and federal grants. Partnerships include the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), IUPAT, KIWA, UC Davis, the US Department of Labor, and the US Department of Homeland Security. Documented outcomes include recovery of over $2 million in stolen wages and a $3.68 million federal court settlement covering 593 workers at Unforgettable Coatings across four states.

Direct peers

• National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON): National coalition of day laborer worker centers and organizing groups. NDLON is Arriba's network affiliate and strategic partner, providing the same community-led worker organizing model scaled nationally; the two organizations share leadership ties through Executive Director Bliss Requa-Trautz.
• Make the Road New York: Worker and immigrant rights organization combining direct services (workforce development, legal aid) with community organizing and policy advocacy. Closely comparable operating model to Arriba as a multi-service worker center serving low-wage immigrant workers.
• Centro de los Derechos del Migrante: Migrant worker advocacy organization focused on defending the labor rights of transnational workers. Highly comparable mission to Arriba's worker center model with a similar emphasis on wage recovery, organizing, and worker-led advocacy.
• KIWA (Korean Immigrant Workers Alliance): Immigrant worker organizing organization that has directly partnered with Arriba on DALE applications. Operates the same grassroots worker center model with comparable organizing, advocacy, and rapid response functions, focused on Korean and broader immigrant worker populations.
• Workers Defense Project: Texas-based worker center focused on construction industry day laborers, providing worker organizing, OSHA-style safety training, and wage recovery services. Directly comparable to Arriba's construction-focused OSHA training and day laborer organizing in Southern Nevada.
• Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC United): Restaurant worker center combining direct service delivery, worker organizing, and policy advocacy for low-wage hospitality workers. Comparable worker center model to Arriba's hospitality and house cleaning worker programs.

Broad incumbents

• Casa de Maryland: One of the largest and most established immigrant worker centers on the East Coast, providing worker organizing, legal services, and training to low-wage immigrant workers. Operates the same community-organizing-plus-direct-services model as Arriba but at substantially greater scale across multiple states.
• National Domestic Workers Alliance: National alliance advocating for domestic worker rights, including house cleaners and housekeepers, a primary Arriba customer segment. Comparable advocacy scope but operates at a substantially larger national policy and membership scale.
• Farmworker Justice: National advocacy organization focused on farmworker policy and labor rights. Comparable mission in worker rights advocacy and policy but operates at the federal policy level rather than direct service delivery, making it a broader incumbent in the worker rights space.

Regional players

• Comité de Apoyo a los Trabajadores Agrícolas (CATA): Mid-Atlantic farmworker organizing group using the same worker-led, community-organizing-plus-training model as Arriba, but focused on agricultural rather than construction and domestic workers and operating primarily in a different regional footprint.
