Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice - Ventura County (CLUE-VC)

, , • 1 - 10 Employees

CLUE-VC was established in 2001 through the realization that the voices of people of faith are powerful yet were missing from the livable wage debate. In partnership with churches and faith communities throughout Ventura County, we developed successful campaigns resulting in a living wage standard for Ventura County, the creation of more than 500 units of new farm worker affordable housing, and a moratorium on Walmart in Ventura. Since then, CLUE-VC has emerged as a vital participant and faith community mobilizer in efforts to achieve economic justice. Today we recognize that some of the most marginalized, vulnerable and disadvantaged people within Ventura County are our farm workers and immigrant families. Through training congregants and bringing the workers' voices to city coalitions and decision makers, we advocate for humane and just living and working conditions for Ventura County families.
