Have Faith! Organize!Resources to Honor Workers and Labor Day in the Pulpit
Labor Day is almost upon us! That means that local faith communities will have the opportunity to participate in Worker Justice Wisconsin’s annual Labor in the Pulpits/On the Bimah/In the Minbar program. This month-long program brings together people of faith to learn about ongoing workplace injustices in our community, get involved in the struggle for worker rights, and support workers organizing for better working conditions.
Participating is easy! Simply register your congregation through this link. When you register, you can also request that Worker Justice Wisconsin provide a guest speaker (*the deadline for requesting a speaker is August 24th*). No matter your religion or denomination, you can participate in this program during any weekend throughout the month of September.
This year's theme, “Have Faith! Organize!,” is highlighted in the resource packet, which is the easiest way to prepare for your service.
Resources include:
Scriptural passages from the Abrahamic religions and Hinduism
Stories of upholding worker justice
Statements from faith leaders and traditions about worker justice
Ways to get involved in worker justice
Ending Prayer
