Jobs with Justice Mission

New York Jobs with Justice is a dynamic long-term, multi-issue coalition of labor, community, student, and faith based organizations working together in New York City to transform and democratize our communities. We take action to level the playing field by building power for poor and working class people, supporting sustainable development, and demanding an end to corporate greed and economic inequality. We work to re-establish basic freedoms in the work place and promote social, racial, and economic justice for all New Yorkers.

JwJ Pledge – “I’ll Be There!”

Jobs with Justice is built around the idea of solidarity. Modeled after the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s, Jobs with Justice brings together a diverse intersection of public sectors to work side by side, building a more powerful and cohesive movement for social change. To this end, we offer strategic support to social and economic justice projects in New York City, in addition to spearheading several long-term priority campaigns.

With 75 member organizations, the Jobs with Justice model unites labor, community, student, and faith based organizations to “be there” for one another throughout the year. Allied organizations work together to increase the effectiveness and broaden the impact of each other’s projects, as well as pioneer new coalition driven campaigns.
