Tell the Chamber of Commerce: Stop the Lies about Worker Rights

The Chamber of Commerce and major corporations are funding phony front groups to lie to people about the Employee Free Choice Act.

Support Teachers' Right to Organize

Teachers at several Chicago charter schools are organizing to improve their conditions and the educational environment of our children. Most charter schools, run like businesses, have been resistant to recognizing the right to organize, not to mention undermining public education.

Stay tuned for details during the JwJ Week of Action.
