Our Story
Healing to Action emerged from the Coalition Against Workplace Sexual Violence, a collaboration that united Chicago’s labor and anti-violence movements. Founded in 2016, HTA was born from the voices of low-wage workers who demanded a worker-led, multicultural response to gender-based violence. The organization released the groundbreaking report, "Digging Deep Into Our Movements," which identified critical gaps in services and innovative strategies to combat gender-based violence. Today, Healing to Action continues to address the root causes of this violence, including economic inequity, racial injustice, ableism, and heteropatriarchy.
