Title: National Guestworker Alliance

URL: http://www.guestworkeralliance.org/

Collection: Labor

Description: Archived website of the National Guestworker Alliance (NGA), a membership organization of guestworkers, founded in 2006 (as the Alliance of Guestworkers) and based in New Orleans, Louisiana ("About NGA," http://www.guestworkeralliance.org/about-nga/, accessed June 13, 2018). Its stated mission is "to ensure that: Guestworkers have the power to transform their workplaces from exploitative to dignified—and have the consciousness and organization to do this in partnership with local workers locked out of employment. Guestworkers have the power to transform the terms of migration, so that workers can arrive to the United States on a path to first-class citizenship. Guestworkers are protagonists in a vibrant social movement to expand the right to organize for all excluded workers, reversing a long legacy of retaliation against workers of color who organize to win dignity and freedom" ("The NGA Vision," http://www.guestworkeralliance.org/about-nga/vision/, accessed June 13, 2018). The NGA website includes information about its press statements and coverage, campaign, and resources for H-2B policy, J-1 visas, and litigation. The site also includes information about the Alianza de Trabajadores de Marisco y Pescado (ATMP) / Alliance of Seafood Workers, Costa del Golfo (Gulf Coast) and Nueva Inglaterra (New England).
