Long Island Jobs with Justice invites you to join us and many other friends from LI’s labor, faith, and community organizations for our 2025 Human Rights Luncheon on December 10th. We are living through a moment of immense challenge for all those dedicated to the struggle for justice. The authoritarian escalations and skyrocketing insecurity of working people over the last year are driving home the fact that fundamental changes are needed. We need a solidarity economy that provides for everyone, rather than an extractive system that rewards the wealthy at the expense of working people!

We will begin with a press conference titled “Why We Speak For Solidarity With Immigrants,” where Long Island faith leaders from across traditions will speak out against the unjust and inhumane deportations sweeping through our communities and the harmful actions being committed by our federal government.

Following the press conference, we invite you to a luncheon, “Building a Solidarity Economy on Long Island,” where we will celebrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by honoring a community advocate who lives out its values in their daily work (honoree will be announced soon). At the heart of the luncheon will be the sharing of economic justice principles shaped by leaders across faith, ethical, and secular traditions.  

While decision-makers at every level stand by as ICE terrorizes our communities and working people struggle under the crushing cost of living, this event will bring together seekers and fighters of justice. Immigration and corporate greed are two sides of the same coin – systems that profit from displacement and division. Our struggle for justice must confront both to build a future where people always come before profit!

We’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $20,000 so that we can keep our organization running and doing the necessary work! The fear and intimidation used against our communities have also reached our funders, making it urgent that we build community-based support. We’re asking our friends and allies across Long Island to stand with us by attending, sponsoring or donating to ensure we can stay in the fight another year.

We hope to see you there on December 10th!

In Solidarity,

Long Island Jobs with Justice
