Political Organization - , ,
Philadelphia Area Jobs with Justice is a coalition of labor unions and student, community, and faith groups. Together, we fight for the fair treatment of workers, organizing in local communities and workplaces. We believe in long-term multi-issue coalition building, grassroots base-building, organizing, and strategic militant action as the foundation for building a workers' movement, and we believe that by engaging a broad community of allies, we can win bigger victories. Philadelphia JwJ was founded in 1999 in order to link unaffiliated activists with labor unions and social justice organizations in solidarity to win victories through the media, on the ground, in picket lines, and at protests. Since then, we have engaged in and won local and national campaigns demanding the fair treatment of workers from some of the country's most notoriously anti-worker corporations--including Verizon, Comcast, Walmart, and Sunoco. We have also worked on national, state, and city levels as members of the National Jobs with Justice network to fight for immigrants' rights, single-payer healthcare, workers' rights to organize, and more.
