Workers Unite to Turn the Tide on Immigration Enforcement Program

The Jobs with Justice national conference will be a unique opportunity for leaders and activists in the immigrant rights community to come together with union members, community organizers, faith leaders, and student activists to learn from each other about the corporate plan to divide workers and strategize the fight back!

Enforcement and criminalization programs like Secure Communities and SB 1070 copycat legislation are used to divide workers and squash worker organizing campaigns. Who is behind all of these national and state based attacks on immigrant workers? What are the solutions? Learn tools to talk with co-workers, neighbors, and family about immigrant and worker unity. Join us for this transformative organizing summit!
