Jobs

The Center for Community Change believes that all people have the right to get decent wages, benefits, and working conditions. The Center with community-led, grassroots organizations that cross ethnic, geographic and issue boundaries to achieve economic and social justice at the local, state and national levels. 

The Center and our partners advocate for a bold jobs agenda to jump start the economy and relieve the massive suffering caused by historic levels of unemployment and underemployment.  We fight to make sure that an unfair burden does not fall on the shoulders of Americans who have to live paycheck to paycheck. Our work focuses on four core constituencies - African Americans, new immigrants, Native Americans and low-income white people - that are particularly vulnerable in the current economic and political climate.  The Center prioritizes work in these communities as a path to improving the country for everyone. 

Our sister organization, the Campaign for Community Change, is working hard to ensure job security and creation through their action arm called Change Nation. You can see their work at  www.joinchangenation.org.
