is not an easy time. And we’re not going to win every campaign. There will be painful, This diffcult losses that will make life more diffcult for many working people. As people of faith, we must retain some sense of perspective and remember that each campaign is part of that longer arc of justice in the moral universe that sometimes is diffcult to watch bend in our favor in real time. But, we know that we can resist and that when we do, we can win. That’s why I’m excited to share a bit about what’s ahead for Interfaith Worker Justice in the com- ing months and years, as we prepare for a long four years. After a number of conversations with the working people in our network, worker center and faith-labor leadership, the IWJ board and staff, and allies, what follows is our plan to continue to grow the IWJ network. To do this, we must fortify our core and make IWJ’s model more sustainable. That means work- ing with each affliate in our network to inventory their strengths and fgure out the best way to provide support to affliates based on each organization’s particular needs. It means working with our network steering committee to codify a process for a more formal affli- ate membership process and the benefts that come with membership. It means shoring up our campaign work through affliate-led working groups that can drive the work forward in stopping wage theft, ensuring safe workplaces, stopping deportations, and protecting the right of working people to organize. It means talking seriously with our members of Congress and encouraging them to introduce na- tional legislation that will increase pressure on Congressional Republicans and the White House to consider meaningful worker justice policies and bring the conversation about worker justice into the political discourse of the day. It means regularly bringing together interfaith leaders to support campaigns for worker justice by wielding their own infuence to move policy on Capitol Hill. It means strengthening our relationships with natural allies: unions, unaffliated worker centers, houses of worship and faith leaders, and other progressive champions. Together, these represent an ambitious shift for Interfaith Worker Justice. But there has not been a more urgent and dramatic shift to the political landscape in recent history than that which we witnessed on November 8. We must innovate if we are to continue to grow and continue to win real victories that improve the lives of working people. I look forward to continuing this journey together. Organizing is going to be more important now than it’s been in decades. Faith leaders, working people, and labor organizers must stand together and work harder than ever before to prevent the rollback of vital worker rights and to fght the persecution of any community, be they undocumented immigrants, people of the Muslim faith, or working people in low-wage jobs. We will defeat hate with love; we will conquer greed with justice. – Rev. Doug Mork, IWJ Board President INSIST2016, the Interfaith Worker Justice affliate network and allies moved In a number of campaigns to improve the lives of working people. photo courtesy of CTUL

Throughout the year, worker centers in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Minnesota were — and continue to be — part of a national coalition of worker-led campaigns to bring justice to the poultry processing industry by improving safety on the job and ensuring that working people have the most basic dignities, like the right to use the bathroom.

After years of powerful organizing, the Fight For $15 and its allies can celebrate the 19 states and 22 cities and counties where the minimum wage went up as the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.

Unions everywhere were relieved when the Supreme Court split over Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, a non- decision that prevented what might have been the start of national “right to work” legislation for working people in the public sector.

While 2017 and beyond will surely be a diffcult time, these victories and the organizing that brought such successes are what fuels us as we continue to strive for worker justice. Indeed, there is much to be hopeful about: a new generation of young activists being called to serve, the dynamic organizing in worker centers, faith-labor coalitions and unions nationwide, and the fact that worker justice issues are consistently supported by a large majority of Americans in every state. Of course we must stay focused on what is moral and just and remember that love and the power of people organizing can over- come even the dark times that are surely ahead. RESIST National Advocacy Together IWJ affliates met with Senator Feinstein as part of a lobbying day on Capitol Hill. IWJ played an instrumental role in drafting the legislation for the Pay Stub Disclosure Act (H.R. 4376/S. 2630), introducing it in the House and Senate earlier in the year, and adding support among legislators. In February 2016, IWJ worker center leaders held a standing room only press briefng on Capitol Hill with Representatives Bobby Scott and Keith Ellison to promote the bill. The companion bill in the Senate, S. 2630, is sponsored by Senator Al Franken. In June 2016, IWJ worker center and faith leaders spent a day lobbying legislators on Capitol Hill, adding more than 20 new co-sponsors. IWJ was one of the principal organizations to help craft the Workplace Action for a Growing Economy (WAGE) Act in 2016, which would have strengthened protections for workers who want to raise wages and improve workplace conditions. Learn to Working with Senator Patty Murray and Representative Rosa DeLauro, do good; IWJ helped draft the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act, a law that would guarantee workers the right to recover fair recompense seek justice, for stolen wages and hold employers accountable for paying employees what they are owed. IWJ also pushed for the inclusion of a community rescue the education fund, which would create a federal grant program to facili- tate partnership between the Department of Labor, community-based oppressed, organizations, and worker centers across the country to educate workers about the law and enforce it. defend the Despite the signifcant challenges we face in passing any federal legisla- tion both before and especially since November 8, IWJ is committed to orphan, intensifying our organizing to do whatever we can to move these bills or alternative policy solutions forward and win meaningful victories for plead for working people. the widow. – Isaiah 1:17 O ye who believe! stand out frmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both.
