The Coalition is pleased to welcome its newest member organization: Justice at Work
Justice at Work, formerly known as Friends of Farmworkers, has been advancing the rights of workers in Pennsylvania for more than 45 years. While originally focused on agricultural workers, it now provides legal aid, community education, and advocacy to immigrant and low-wage workers across industries. At Justice at Work diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are core values on which the organization stands. They strive to incorporate these values into their substantive work, hiring, promotion, retention, communications, contract and vendor selection, and workplace environment.
“At Justice at Work, we believe that we are better at everything we do when we incorporate our core values of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging into all aspects of JAW. We are excited and honored to be formally joining the Pittsburgh Legal Diversity & Inclusion Coalition and we can’t wait to learn alongside other members. We are hoping that this formal partnership brings new ideas and strategies to JAW that will allow us to continue to improve our core work of client representation, along with our broader advocacy.”
— Meredith Rapkin, Executive Director, Justice at Work
