September 13, 2023: Long Island Jobs With Justice Awards Dinner

PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS & SPONSORSHIPS ONLINE HERE

Our awards dinner is the one night out of the year where our network of labor, community and faith allies come together to celebrate and honor the tireless commitment and work of our partners in the fight for workers’ rights and economic justice. This year’s honorees will be:

  • New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) who have harnessed the power to strike to protect the health and safety of their members and the patients they care for each day.
  • Haitian American Family of Long Island (HAFALI), an inspiring community organization dedicated to serving LI’s Haitian community.
  • The Workplace Project, a Hempstead-based worker organization that fights to improve the lives of day laborers. Most recently, they supported the workers of Nick’s Pizza in their struggle to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages stolen by their employer.
  • The Reverend Canon Marie A. Tatro, Canon for Community Justice Ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, a dedicated organizer and advocate on LIJWJ’s AMOS faith justice committee.
  • Center for Civic Engagement at Hofstra University, which serves as one of the few places where labor, community, and worker struggles are centered and uplifted for public education.
