Our Mission and Values
Fighting for the fair treatment of working people
Our Mission
Philadelphia Area Jobs with Justice is a coalition of labor unions and student, community, and faith groups. Together, we fight for the fair treatment of working people, organizing in local communities and workplaces. We believe in long-term multi-issue coalition building, grassroots base-building, organizing, and strategic action as the foundation for building a movement for economic justice, and we believe that by engaging a broad community of allies, we can win bigger victories.
Our Values
Solidarity
We believe in mutual commitment across differences—labor, gender justice, racial justice, economic justice, housing rights, climate justice, and more.
Working Class Power
We believe in the power of the working class to build a better future for all.
Action Readiness
When people rise up, we must be ready—not just in principle, but in practice—with resources, strategy, and unity. We maintain infrastructure to provide rapid-response support for strikes, protests, and community actions.
