Each year, DC Jobs with Justice celebrates their incredible work at the I’ll Be There Awards. We are thrilled to recognize so many powerful movement builders who are making the change we need in our community:
-
Excluded Workers Direct Action leaders led a dozen home visits to Councilmembers throughout the DC budget process, winning and protecting $9 million in cash assistance and enshrining an expansive definition of excluded worker in DC law.
-
Makia Green is a leader with Black Lives Matter DC and is instrumental in the campaign to Defund MPD.
-
Restore the Vote won voting rights for felons currently serving sentences. DC follows only two other states in allowing these residents to vote.
-
Tamika Spellman works with HIPS and No Justice No Pride to lead campaigns including Decrim Sex Work, Reclaim Rent Control and with excluded workers
-
UFCW 400 Giant and Safeway workers fought a hard-won campaign against Giant and Safeway protecting wages and benefits in the months just before the pandemic hit. Since then, their members have tirelessly served the community in our local grocery stores as essential workers.
Will you register for the awards to join us in recognizing their accomplishments?
Finally if you are able to please consider supporting the fight for fair wages, community centered public safety and affordable housing in DC: make a donation or become an event sponsor right now. See you on Wednesday night!
In solidarity,
