About Us

The U.S. Labor Education in the Americas Project (USLEAP) is an independent non-profit organization that supports workers who are fighting for a better life for their families and to overcome poverty in Latin America. 

We support especially those workers who are employed directly or indirectly by U.S. companies producing for the U.S. market.

USLEAP believes that in a global economy, it is also in the best interests of U.S. workers that workers in other countries have the freedom to fight to improve their wages and working conditions.

USLEAP is one of the oldest anti-sweatshop groups in the U.S., having been founded in 1987 as the U.S./Guatemala Labor Education Project.  USLEAP has since expanded its work to other countries in Latin America.
