Empowering Working Class Americans
Our Mission
Justice & Equality
Fighting for Justice & Equality in Our Workplace…and in all places. Since 1999, Sincere Seven educates, activates and advocates for the working class, and those from marginalized, under-served and neglected communities through the use of tried, trusted and varied social organizing tactics and methods in order to obtain just and sustained results.
Community Empowerment Programs
Supporting Working Class Communities
Explore our range of community empowerment programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of the under-served and working class communities of Washington, DC and beyond. From educational initiatives to advocacy programs, we provide comprehensive support in the form of education and direct advocacy--both collective and legislative--to uplift and empower the voices of the working class.
Ongoing Education, Outreach and Advocacy Achievements
Stop Wage Theft
To educate and advocate for the Sincere Seven's core constituency—workers—on the workplace protections designed to sustain their lives in DC and America as a whole. Our objective is to expose wage theft by unscrupulous employers, oversee execution of workplace law application and inform workers of their rights in their respective workplaces.
The S7 has been engaging the entire DC community of resident/workers since the 2018 inception of our “Stop Wage Theft” project.
This, being our seventh year in collaboration with DC Jobs with Justice in the administration of the Office of the Attorney General’s Wage Theft outreach initiative, we’ve fostered a methodology for carrying out the genuine reporting of the status of workers' understanding of workplace law and their legal protections.
"It's Hard to Shoot Someone When You Don't Have A Gun"
2nd Amendment Re-Definition & Firearm Abolition
Americans are being killed unnecessarily by firearms every day in the US. The S7 is of the mind that this doesn't have to be the case; just because something has been, doesn't mean that that's the way it shall be. We've noted that efforts to institute background checks, "red flag" laws and bans on assault weapons have been consistently stifled by ultra-loyal, right-wing, conservative gun advocates, backed by firearm manufacturers. None of that has worked; not because those aren't good intentions, but because the gun lobby has captured the narrative. We are of the mind that that narrative has to be stomped out and re-written, by those most greatly affected--young Americans.
"Thoughts and prayers," tears and vigils are far too commonplace to ignore the common denominator in every--EVERY--gun homicide or suicide in this country and in the District: the gun. Our 2nd Amendment Re-Definition and Firearm Abolition Campaign exists to educate young people to actual wording and legislative intent in the US Constitution, the misapplication of those words and judicial interpretation and provide them with the tools to effect legislators--beginning at home.
This is the genesis of a long-term campaign of legislative change, using the tools of conservatives, who, after 50 years of determined relentlessness, overturned a woman's right to choose and abortion in the Supreme Court's Roe v Wade decision.
Safe, Healthy & Equitable Housing
Housing In Dignity
The HID (Housing In Dignity) program agenda is to chronicle, document, educate and advocate the cause of DC tenants' untenable , unsafe, unhealthy and possibly illegal living conditions in rental housing that may run counter to DC's Tenant's Rights Act.
Our ongoing mission is to serve as listeners and translators of tenants' complaints and entreaties to their landlords and turn those entreaties into viable and just policy and/or legislative solutions.
