From our partners at Missouri Jobs with Justice:
Twenty-five years.
It was twenty-five years ago we helped win the St. Louis Living Wage ordinance. Back in 1999, we worked with labor unions, faith leaders, St. Louis residents, and workers to give workers a raise. By coming together, thousands of workers got a raise - and the Missouri Jobs with Justice movement was born. Since then, we’ve helped raise the wage for Missouri workers in 2006, 2018, and again in 2024. We’ve stood with countless workers in picket lines from St. Joseph to Springfield, and at rallies in Centralia to the Central West End.
We’ve accomplished all that and more in the past 25 years thanks to leaders like you.
And we believe this incredible journey deserves a celebration!
Save the date for September 24th to honor and celebrate 25 years of worker justice with us! In addition to the great company of your fellow MO JWJ members, we will have food, drink, great MO JwJ merch to choose from and a special performance from Bread & Roses Missouri.
