July 25, 2025 | Sacramento, CA – MedLegalNews.com – The California Department of Industrial Relations has relaunched its Reaching Every Californian campaign, a statewide effort aimed at educating workers about their rights and preventing wage theft. This renewed push focuses on delivering multilingual workplace rights information and enhancing outreach in underserved communities.

Originally launched in early 2025 in collaboration with local partner organizations, the “Reaching Every Californian campaign” utilizes community events, digital media, and informational toolkits to empower workers and increase reporting of labor violations. It marks a continued investment in labor education and enforcement by the Labor Commissioner’s Office.

Campaign Scope and Target Outreach

The Reaching Every Californian campaign prioritizes reaching vulnerable worker groups including youth, immigrant laborers, domestic employees, and those in the gig economy. Through in-person workshops, webinars, and public service announcements, the campaign delivers guidance on wage theft prevention, overtime rights, and complaint procedures.

Materials are available in multiple languages, and community-based partners play a central role in distributing content and hosting local events.

Partnership and Educational Materials

The Reaching Every Californian campaign partners with nonprofit legal-aid groups, labor rights organizations, and local agencies to amplify its reach. Participating groups receive official toolkits that include flyers, brochures, and presentation slides outlining key rights and how to file claims.

To support employers and workers, the campaign provides easy access to online resources and training guides via the DIR media portal.

Why the Relaunch Matters Now

The Reaching Every Californian campaign relaunch reinforces the state’s proactive stance on labor rights education and compliance, aiming to close gaps in awareness that often hinder legal recourse.

Stakeholders recognize that early education plays a key role in preventing violations and reducing the burden on legal enforcement systems.
