The intent of the Faith Labor Alliance is to build public relationships and take collaborative action to build an economy and a democracy that works for all Missourians. The St. Louis Faith Labor Alliance meets every month on the 3rd Thursday (usually).

Each meeting begins with reciting the Missouri Jobs With Justice’s Be There Solidarity Pledge:

• I will BE THERE to fight for an economy, a democracy, and a Missouri that works for all of us, no matter the color of our skin, our zip code, or what’s in our wallets.

• I commit to BE THERE at least five times a year:

• Standing up for our rights as working people—Black, brown, and white—to good jobs and healthy communities;

• Supporting the right of all workers to organize and bargain collectively; Fighting for fair wages in the face of corporate greed;

• Fighting against white supremacy wherever I encounter it, and standing up for racial justice;

• Organizing the unorganized to take aggressive action to secure a better future for all of us; and

• Mobilizing those already organized to join the fight for Jobs with Justice.

The staff contact for the St. Louis Faith Labor Alliance is the Rev. Teresa Danieley, MOJWJ, teresa@mojwj.org.

The Ashrei Foundation is a proud member of the St. Louis Faith Labor Alliance and regularly attends these meetings.
