SUSTAINING WESTERN MASS JOBS WITH JUSTICE
Dear Activists, Thank you for Being There in the struggle for workers’ rights. Founded in 1987, Jobs with Justice is a national network that organizes solidarity among labor, community, student, and faith-based groups to improve working people’s standard of living, fight for job security, and protect workers’ right to organize. We believe workers’ rights are human rights and to be successful, we have to be part of a larger movement for economic and social justice. We do so by organizing local coalitions. I am honored and thankful to be able to work for Western Mass. Jobs with Justice, a coalition of 66 organizations. If you appreciate this work, please make a donation to keep it going. Your dues and donations are used primarily for operational expenses related to employing me as a full-time coordinator/organizer (see current program attached below) and now Patrick Burke as Student-Labor Action Project Organizer. Local activists and unions donate many other costs in-kind. We started Patrick at only 30 hours a month. We'd like to increase Patrick's hours, and with your generous donations, we will! Dues are Donations for Membership; Members have decision-making rights at the annual Membership Meeting, quarterly Steering Committee meetings, and in committees, projects, and alliances. Will you sponsor Western Mass. Jobs with Justice? Our goal is to recruit 100 individual donors who give $100 each year. They will be listed (if they choose) as Sponsors of the Annual Conference. Will you donate what you can afford? Will you apply your donation to membership and Be There? Donations are to the Jobs with Justice Fund of the Warren J. Plaut Charitable Trust and are tax-deductible. You may make your check out to WJPCT JwJ Fund. Send it to Jobs with Justice, PO Box 296, Granby MA 01033. Attached below is a form you can use to show how you want your donation categorized and acknowledged. It includes an easy electronic funds transfer (EFT) option. Thank you for all your support and hard work! In solidarity, Jon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jon Weissman, Coordinator
