LIJWJ is proud to announce our 2024 Awards Dinner Honorees! These organizations and individuals are among those at the forefront of the fight for justice on LI!

We’re excited to elevate and celebrate the work of:

• 1199 SEIU
• Elmont Cultural Center
• Gladys & Julie Flores
• Gender Equality New York
• The Sisters of St. Dominic Amityville

Stay tuned for spotlights on each of our honorees to learn more about the important work they do!

The theme of this year’s awards dinner is CONNECTEDNESS. Greedy and unscrupulous bosses who use their wealth to wield control in our workplaces and government know that workers are weaker individually than they are collectively. It is a feature, not a bug, that people feel increasingly isolated from one another, especially on highly segregated Long Island.  

We all would do well to subvert this trend by intentionally connecting with one another to strengthen us both individually and collectively. The struggles those fighting for justice endure are a bit easier when fought alongside others.

With this in mind, LIJWJ is using this large gathering of likeminded folks to do just that. So in addition to the usual worker-centered revelry we enjoy every year, come prepared with an open heart and mind to get to know someone you didn’t before!

Join us for an energizing, movement-strengthening, and worker-centered evening on Tuesday July 30 at Captain Bill’s in Bay Shore! Get your tickets now using this link or by sending us this form!

In solidarity,

Long Island Jobs with Justice
