Arise Chicago is a brand that aims to combat workplace injustice by building partnerships between faith communities and workers. Established in 1991 by religious leaders, Arise Chicago works to address poverty's root causes by advocating for public policy changes, organizing workers, and providing education on workers' rights. The Arise Chicago Worker Center is a community resource where both immigrant and native-born workers can learn about their rights and collaborate with fellow workers to improve workplace conditions.

Since its inception in 2002, the Worker Center has helped thousands of workers recover over $9 million in owed wages and compensation, and has trained workers to know their rights, file complaints, and access legal representation. Arise Chicago also plays a unique role in labor organizing and contract campaigns, engaging both management and labor to find just solutions. Through their Faith-Labor Solidarity program, the brand encourages religious leaders to support workers' struggles for economic justice, offering moral persuasion, public statements, prayers, and the support of their religious institutions.
