[Antiracism] [WMJwJ] GreenWork Listserve Launched

[WMass Jobs With Justice]

Dear subscribers of a WMJwJ e-list,

WMJwJ has helped convene a Western Mass. Working Group of advocates for a
Green Economy which serves local communities; guarantees workers' rights to
organize; and promotes community-owned sustainable projects.  We think labor
and community organizations and allies need to be proactive to avoid a
low-road, sweatshop economy.

I invite you to subscribe and contribute to the Working Group's listserve,
graciously hosted by Gaia Host Collective.  You can do so by going to
http://lists.gaiahost.coop/mailman/listinfo/greenwork or sending an email to
greenwork-subscribe at lists.gaiahost.coop.

In solidarity,

Jon

Founded in 1987, Jobs with Justice's mission is 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 campaign for economic and social justice. 

To that end, "J with J" has created a national coalition and a network of
local coalitions that connect labor, community, student, and faith-based
organizations and activists on workplace and community social justice
campaigns.  Western Mass JwJ - founded June 5, 1993 - is now a coalition of
almost 60 organizations. 

WMJwJ publishes the following mobilization emails:

[Workers' Rights] posts opportunities for you to learn about and show
solidarity with workplace and working class struggles. And these events are
opportunities for JwJ members to fulfill their pledge: "I'll be there for
workers' rights at least five times a year!" This is the core mission of
Jobs with Justice (www.jwj.org), affirming that workers' rights are human
rights. To subscribe, send an email to wmjwj at wmjwj.org with a Subject of
