About Us

We fight for Living Wages. We believe all workers deserve 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.

We support the right to organize in the workplace and collective bargaining.
We advocate for legislation that supports this right. We also bring people
together in local union fights where our collective strength is beneficial to the
local union.

We believe all of our activists that are eligible should be registered and should
exercise their right to vote. Online Voter Registration Form To return your
form to your County Board of Election look up the address in the - County
Board of Elections Directory. Your registration form must be postmarked no
later than 30 days prior to the next election to be eligible to vote in that
election.

We believe all workers regardless of their immigration status should be
working in decent and safe work environments and should have the right to
organize in the workplace.

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 5 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. Who we
are..... Membership Organizations Various labor, community, and faith organizations in the Cuyahoga

Our Mission....

Cleveland Jobs with Justice is a coalition of 59 labor, community and faith
organizations working together to promote workers' rights and social justice in the
greater Cleveland area.

What we do .....

Cleveland Jobs with Justice fights for working people. It's that simple.

Whether it means rallying to support workers facing anti-union harassment from their
employer, or joining allies to protect important public safety net programs like
Medicaid, Cleveland Jobs with Justice is about SOLIDARITY.

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. At Cleveland Jobs with Justice we
believe that sometimes you have to stand up, and sometimes you have to sit down,
to win justice and dignity for working people.
