ABOUT THE COMPANY
The Public is an online magazine dedicated to exploring the legal and social underpinnings of workers’ rights in America. It publishes everything from explainers on current legal cases and why they matter, to history pieces on the evolution of workers’ rights, photo-essays from the front-lines of labor, and perhaps most importantly, first-hand stories from underserved communities most affected when laws go unenforced.
