Coalition For Economic Justice

Description

The Coalition for Economic Justice works with religious, academic, labor, and community activists to improve living standards for the Western New York community. It seeks to forge effective alliances, educate the community at large, and provide a public voice that both advocates for and empowers all working men and women. CEJ is a local chapter of the organizations Jobs with Justice and the New York State Labor Religion Coalition. Since our beginning in 1986, CEJ has spoken out on the moral issues that are the foundation of economic justice. Our goals are (1) to organize support for workers treated unjustly or illegally in the workplace and (2) to address the root causes of poverty while working for economic policies that benefit the entire community.
