Washington State Jobs with Justice
Local community and labor leaders founded Washington State Jobs with Justice in 1993 to unite diverse organizations in a multi-issue coalition that has grown to include more than 154 organizations and over 5000 individuals. Individual activists sign the Jobs with Justice pledge
to be there five times a year for someone else's struggle as well as their own.
By creating strategic alliances locally and among organizations nationally and developing
a broad base of support, Jobs with Justice coalitions are re-building the infrastructure
that gives communities a sense of their own power.
In the early years, Jobs with Justice organized local participation in national campaigns to defend
our social safety net, for immigrant rights, and to Boot Newt. Jobs with Justice has consistently
supported numerous unions in strike struggles and contract campaigns, the fight for
the right to organize, and building mutual support between community and labor.
We continue our work with current priorities.
Jobs with Justice's mission is to improve working people's standard of living, fight for job security, and protect workers' right to organize. Jobs with Justice's core belief is that in order to be successful, workers' rights struggles have to be part of a larger campaign for economic and social justice. To that end, Jobs with Justice has created a network of local coalitions that connect labor, faith-based, community, and student and youth organizations
to work together on workplace and community social justice campaigns.
