Economic Justice Program
AFSC's Economic Justice Program works to help people obtain good public benefits and services, and to organize for social change. We believe that workers have the right to organize; that budget and tax policies should be fair and benefit everyone; and that all people have the right to adequate food, shelter, healthcare, education, and a living wage. We work to build leadership and community power through a national office and regional programs.
