in Broward Co. who were terminated for demanding better working
conditions.

conditions; - Dole Fresh Flowers – workers suffering harsh conditions in Colombia.
- The New Sanctuary Movement – organizing the faith community to serve as
the prophetic voice on behalf of disenfranchised immigrant families who
contribute to this society, yet are threatened with deportation and being
separated from their families.
- Women's Gatherings – we believe that faith is a powerful component to
unionizing struggles. We are in the midst of bringing together women faith
leaders to
- bring out and/or foster activism among these faith leaders, and
- empower and meet the spiritual needs of low-wage organizing women
Public Policy:
- Community Benefits Agreement – partnering with organizations to hold real
estate developers responsible to employ local residents, to provide them with
living wages & benefits for their new construction projects.
- Living Wage Campaign– after successfully partnering with organizations to
gain a Living Wage in Miami, we are now organizing in other area
municipalities, to have them adopt and enforce a living wage ordinance,
ensuring fair wages adjusted to the cost of living.
Education:
- Labor in the Pulpits / on the Bima / in the Minbar –over 40 local
congregations participate in a national program to make the connection
between faith and labor over Labor Day Weekend, with several hosting low
wage workers as speakers.
- The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day – hosted over 400 people for an
Interfaith Service and, led by dozens of robed clergy, marched to support
condo workers in Miami Beach.
