People's Day of Justice at Wal Mart in Highland, IL
Membership
Our membership includes both organizations and individuals.
Member Organizations find that Jobs with Justice is an important strategic tool. It provides a broad base, drawn from throughout the St. Louis community, to support their work. The Jobs with Justice Workers Rights Board gives member organizations access to community leaders committed to bringing worker injustices into the public spotlight.
In addition, Jobs with Justice's working groups build and/or strengthen alliances among member organizations with common goals. Jobs with Justice currently includes Health Care, Global Justice, and Anti-Racism working groups.
Each JwJ member organization actively signs up individual members from among their membership. Member community and religious organizations are asked to pay at least $35 a year to support the work of Jobs with Justice; unions are asked to pay $500 year and Sustaining Member Organizations pay $1000 or more.

Individual Members are the backbone of Jobs with Justice, because our power lies in our ability to strategically mobilize people on behalf of working people's issues. Each takes the Jobs with Justice pledge to "be there" at least five times a year for someone else?s fight as well as their own. That means joining picket lines, attending rallies, and participating in other actions or demonstrations for economic and social justice.
Individual members choose to what level they participate in the work of Jobs with Justice. Some are very involved, attending each monthly Organizing Committee meeting, hearing proposals from the community and planning strategic action. Others simply ask to be placed on the mobilization tree because they want the call to be there at strategic moments for justice in their community.
