Leeds Morelli & Brown, PC is a supporter of The Workplace Project. In 2006, partner Jeffrey Brown was given the distinction of being honored as "Man of the Year" at The Workplace Project's annual banquet dinner.

According to its website, "The Workplace Project (Centro de Derechos Laborales), founded in 1992, is a membership based organization that unites immigrant workers and their families for better working and living conditions.

The Workplace Project was founded on the belief that while simply providing services might alleviate some of the pain of exploitation; it would do nothing to fix the problems in the long run. Instead, it has chosen to build community centers of and for immigrants, which work through a cycle of outreach, leadership training, membership building, and organizing for change in the labor context."
