Collectively, the WCCA has decades of experience as activists, and working with a broad range of individuals, organisations and institutions in the professional sector. We are all either working class or from a working class background – through the work of the WCCA, we are committed to highlighting how various factors such as someone’s race, gender and geographical location directly impact and shape what it means to experience life as a working class person.
