Our vision for social change is based on the principles of solidarity and action: standing on “the front line” in solidarity with brothers and sisters in the struggle. Kentucky JwJ calls for a commitment to deepen one’s analysis of current economic injustice and to act from that commitment. For our campaigns to be a success, we must continue to work across barriers of class, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation. As a diverse coalition of community, faith, student and labor organizations, KY JwJ is able to support our partners’ social and economic justice actions as well as initiate our own. As we fight against issues of economic injustice we also recognize the close link to other forms of injustice (racism, sexism, heterosexism, etc). Kentucky JwJ recognizes the importance of being an ally in the opposition of all forms of oppression.Kentucky Jobs with Justice is a broad-based coalition of community groups, faith-based organizations 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.
