Economic justice isn’t just a workers’ issue; it resonates throughout all of our lives and communities, shaping our collective well-being. By advocating for equitable economic systems and labor laws, and making space for workers to lead their own struggles, we can repair social divides and create a more just economy and society. Join and hear about specific projects and campaigns Long Island Jobs with Justice is working on to support worker organizing and learn more about how you can participate in the transformative power of solidarity through campaigns like the Unemployment Bridge Program—a statewide campaign that supports those excluded from unemployment insurance—and active support for Starbucks workers as they unionize for fair wages and better working conditions.
