People of faith in Silicon Valley are not alone in our struggles for justice. The Interfaith Council has helped to lead the creation of the new statewide interfaith network, Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice of California (CLUE-CA).
The problems that our communities face are neither unique nor isolated. As the companies where we work grow statewide, national, and global, so must our efforts to ensure justice and dignity in the workplace. CLUE-CA will build the strength of local movements to become a statewide soul force for low income workers.
Through CLUE-CA, faith leaders from around California identify key campaigns in which local efforts can be coordinated to achieve statewide victories. Current statewide and regional campaigns include:
- Hotel Workers Rising
- Service Workers Rising
- Stand with Security Officers
- Justice for Janitors
- Nursing Home Reform
- Cintas Laundry Workers
- Interfaith Task Force for Immigrant Rights
- A Handshake with Sam: Holding Wal-Mart Accountable
- Young Religious Leaders’ Project
CLUE-CA seeks to allow local movements to grow from each others’ strengths, reaching out to people of faith throughout the state who want to foster a values-based movement for justice in their community. To this end, CLUE-CA prioritizes training and hands-on technical assistance for small and emerging interfaith groups, providing the tools they need to build their own interfaith worker justice movements.
