Sarah Reyes: Why Mass Jwj

At Massachusetts Jobs with Justice, we are declaring August as our month of Movement-building and Movement-Giving. Even in the most uncertain times, you can be sure of Jobs with Justice, and that’s only because hundreds of activists like you have worked so hard over the last three decades to make our organization what it is today. As long as we have your solidarity, we will keep fighting-- and we believe that we will win. This month, we will be highlighting our campaigns, victories, and leaders that make Mass Jobs with Justice unstoppable and sustain and grow our movement.

Sarah Reyes: I started working with Jobs with Justice several months ago after connecting with one of their wonderful organizers, Alicia Fleming, at a community event. The incredible Jobs with Justice team supported me and my fellow youth organizers with resources, trainings, outreach, community connections, and even a meeting space. They truly helped make us the organizers and community members we are today. The Jobs with Justice team have been essential connectors and leaders in so many local fights, from helping local mutual aid work strengthen its foundations to building bridges between environmental justice and economic justice campaigns. The coalition spaces they hold prompt collaboration and support resiliency that are deeply important for the region.
