About Me

Kentucky Jobs With Justice is a broad-based coalition of community groups, faith-based organizations, students and labor unions united to promote, protect and improve the quality of life of all workers by empowering individuals and organizations to engage in collective action for economic and social justice.

KYJWJ was founded in 1992 when community and church activists joined to support UNITE! in a fight for a fair contract for workers against Louisville Manufacturing. KY JWJ has since grown to a coalition of more than 50 organizational members and 1800 individual activists who have pledged to "be there five times for someone else's fight as well as my own."

This is worth the watch! The time is always right for White folks in labor to acknowledge the impact of racism on our movement work!!
