Individual Activists Get Involved!
A meeting of the Workers Rights Board

Our three Organizing Committees in Pierce County, MLK Jr. County, and Whatcom County consist of Jobs with Justice activists who regularly mobilize broad community support for campaigns of our member organizations. Anyone who signs an "I'll Be There" pledge card can participate in the Organizing Committee. The local Organizing Committees initiate local actions that meet the Mission Statement's goals, and reflect the direction the Steering Committee has established.
