	ORGANIZING AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING RIGHTS Workers' rights are under attack. More than 41 million workers say they want a union, yet workers who attempt to organize face vicious employer opposition. Over the past nineteen years, Jobs with Justice coalitions have proven again and again that when enough of us stand together, we all start winning.

	HEALTH CARE for ALL Health care costs are soaring and the system is out of control. The widespread failure of the private sector to provide essential services for working families means that the time is increasingly ripe for a national health care reform movement. We have a real opportunity to “connect the dots” between different campaigns within our network in order to draw a compelling picture of the health care crisis we face and the need for meaningful reform for health care for all.

	IMMIGRANT RIGHTS Historically, U.S. and foreign workers have often been pitted against each other, and racism and immigrant bashing have divided workers domestically to the advantage of corporations. Now, Jobs with Justice, along with many others, is bridging the gap between the labor movement and immigrant rights groups as we explore strategies to fight for better living and working conditions for all workers, regardless of their legal status.

	GLOBAL JUSTICE It is clear that domestic struggles for workers’ rights are inextricably linked to international economic activity and the respect for workers’ rights abroad. JwJ is engaged in a variety of projects to fight for fairness in the global economy, including a collaboration with Indian trade unions, global trade, engagement in the U.S. and World Social Forums, and membership in the group Grassroots Global Justice.

	ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JwJ coalitions are fighting for people’s power against corporations; fighting to ensure that community members have a say in what kind of development happens in their neighborhood; fighting for accountable economic development; fighting for not just jobs, but Jobs with Justice.

	corporate accountability Corporations wield enormous power in our global economy. They manage economies larger than many countries. Jobs with Justice is working to ensure that corporate power is balanced by the human needs of working families and our communities. Corporate power unchecked creates economic tyranny and threatens the core of democracy.

	OTHER CAMPAIGNS Jobs with Justice coalitions engage in many other campaigns for social and economic justice in their communities, including: minimum wage, living wage, voter registration, housing justice, criminal justice, environmental projects, and much more.
