Janel Bailey

Janel Bailey is the Los Angeles Black Worker Center’s new Co-Executive Director of Organizing and Programs alongside La Tonya Harris. Born and raised in Chicago, Bailey is a campaigner who has devoted her time to organizing to improve the lives of working people, especially queer and Black workers. Before joining the LA Black Worker Center, Bailey worked most recently with the Service Employees International Union in the Midwest and the Worker Center for Racial Justice in Chicago. If there were three people, dead or alive, she could join for lunch between workshops, they’d be Mayor Harold Washington, Questlove, and Prince.
