Cleveland Jobs with Justice is an action oriented organization working for social change. Traditionally, our work relates to a few different subject areas: |
As the corporate world continues to tighten its hold on our political and economic culture, a voice for working people is needed now more than ever. Cleveland Jobs with Justice is committed to being that voice for social justice. We engage with our allies on a wide range of issues, but these 4 issue areas are central to the work we do. Our coalition partners continue their daily work around these issues reaching out throughout the community, the state and some even nationally. One thing we do know, when we come together our voice is too loud to ignore. In whatever campaign we engage, the demands are the same - respect, dignity, fairness, and justice for all people.

When more of us start standing together, we can all start winning. By engaging with our allies and friends on a broad range of issues and campaigns, Cleveland Jobs with Justice pushes for militant action in the fight to protect working people, the services they need, and the rights they fought hard to win.

About Us.... |
We fight for Economic Justice for all workers. We believe everyone deserves to make a decent living wage and working people should not be living in poverty. We believe in Health Care for all. We support local, statewide, and national campaigns to provide accessible, affordable healthcare in the United States.
