Coalition for Economic Justice

The Coalition for Economic Justice (CEJ) united member labor, faith, and community organizations and individual activists with allies and resources to win campaigns that promote economic justice for all by building strong, diverse, sustainable communities. We imagine a Western New York where good jobs, healthy communities, and engaged residents are the norm. CEJ is an affiliate of the national Jobs with Justice network and the New York State Labor Religion Coalition. Since our our founding in 1986, CEJ has spoken out on the moral issues that are the foundation of economic justice. Our goals are (1) to organize support for workers treated unjustly and help them find dignity in their workplaces, (2) hold government and elected officials accountable while working for sustainable economic policies that benefit the entire community, and (3) ensure full civic engagement among communities, including groups who have been traditionally marginalized.
