Jobs with Justice Launches New Blog

|
Our activist friends at Jobs with Justice (JwJ) have joined us in the blogosphere.
The just-launched Jobs with Justice Blog—www.jwjblog.org—highlights the group‘s actions and campaigns around the country. JwJ says it hopes the blog will help build a strong progressive labor movement
“by providing a space for Jobs with Justice staff, leaders, and allies who are building the movement for workers’ rights and economic justice to write about and discuss the campaigns and issues we are working on locally, nationally, and globally. We hope this blog creates space to explore new ideas and strategies for JwJ.”
This past week’s line up included JwJ health care reform actions in Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Utah, Vermont and elsewhere; an update on the battle community groups in Chicago are waging against Wal-Mart and; and a look at a Coney Island New York coalition’s work to ensure that a massive redevelopment plan there includes affordable housing, local preference for jobs, prevailing wages, improvements to sewer infrastructure, the local school, and more.
It’s a great resource and a way to keep up to date on grassroots, boots-on-the-ground, activism. Check it out here.
