Faith and Labor Solidarity
Groups of workers often face retaliation for their organizing efforts. Our Faith and Labor Solidarity program coordinates religious support for worker-led campaigns. People of faith meet with workers to hear their stories, pray, rally, march, fast, and draw media attention in support of workers' struggles for justice. Arise Chicago also organizes an annual event called Labor in the Pulpit/on the Bimah/in the Minbar in which relgious congregations all over the Chicagoland area host union workers and leaders to speak, distribute information and raise awareness about local campaigns.
