Membership

Our membership includes both organizations and individuals.

Member Organizations find that Jobs with Justice is an important strategic tool. It provides a broad base, drawn from throughout the Greater Kansas City area, to support their work.

Each JwJ member organization actively signs up individual members from among their membership. Member community and religious organizations are asked to pay at least $50 a year to support the work of Jobs with Justice and unions are asked to pay $500 year.

The Greater Kansas City Jobs with Justice coalition includes local as well as statewide member organizations. Organizations that belong to Missouri Jobs with Justice and that have an active presence in the Kansas City area may also participate in Greater Kansas City Jobs with Justice activities.

Individual Members are the backbone of Jobs with Justice, because our power lies in our ability to strategically mobilize people on behalf of working people's issues. Each takes the Jobs with Justice pledge to "be there" at least five times a year for someone else's fight as well as their own. That means joining picket lines, attending rallies, and participating in other actions or demonstrations for economic and social justice.

Individual members choose to what level they participate in the work of Jobs with Justice. Some are very involved, attending each monthly Organizing Committee meeting, hearing proposals from the community and planning strategic action. Others become sustaining members and support Jobs with Justice financially by donating ten or more dollars per month on a recurring basis, while yet some simply ask to be placed on the mobilization tree because they want the call to be there at strategic moments for justice in their community.
