Our History

    South Florida Interfaith Worker Justice (SFIWJ) was formed in
    1998, comprised of clergy, lay leaders, and labor union
    representation.  Our active supporters span Miami-Dade and
    Broward counties, and include clergy and lay leaders,
    congregants, congregations, and judicatories. SFIWJ is currently
    one of sixty-five affiliates in the national Interfaith Worker
    Justice network, which was founded in 1991.

    SFIWJ began with a vision of the “faith community serving as a
    prophetic voice and spiritual advocate that is aware of the plight
    of workers, especially low-wage workers, and those victimized
    by social injustice.”

    We produced a workers’ rights manual and launched a Workers’
    Rights Initiative to protect the legal rights and benefits of low-
    wage workers, many of whom are immigrants.

    We also educate and involve our communities in the support of
    workers’ rights and promoting access to fair employment.
    SFIWJ supports a worker’s entitlement to collectively organize
    in the workplace as a means to self-sufficiency.
