act together to create powerful organizations and win on issues

 Jobs with Justice is a coalition of
progressive labor unions, community, student, and religious
organizations committed to fighting together for economic
justice.
Thousands of members
of these organizations, as well as individuals from the
community-at-large have taken the Jobs with Justice Pledge to "Be there five times a year for someone else's fight
as well as my own". You can join them by taking the pledge on-line.
