Founded in 1987, Jobs with Justice's mission is to improve working people's standard of living, fight for job security, and protect workers' right to organize. We believe workers' rights are human rights and to be successful, we have to be part of a larger campaign for economic and social justice.

To that end, "J with J" has created a national coalition and a network of local coalitions that connect labor, community, student, and faith-based organizations and activists on workplace and community social justice campaigns. Western Mass JwJ – founded June 5, 1993 – is now a coalition of almost 70 organizations.

Let’s keep in touch – please check out our mailing lists at http://wmjwj.org/our-lists.
