Interfaith Worker Justice

Mission & Values

Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) advances the rights of workers by engaging diverse faith communities into action, from grassroots organizing to shaping policy at the local, state and national levels. We envision a nation where all workers enjoy the rights to: 

• Wages, health care, and pensions that allow workers to raise families and retire with dignity
• Safe working conditions
• Organize and bargain collectively to improve wages, benefits, and conditions without harassment, intimidation, or retaliation
• Equal protection under labor law - regardless of immigration status - and an end to the practice of pitting immigrant and U.S.-born workers against one another
• Fair and just participation in a global economy that promotes the welfare of both domestic and foreign workers
