Economic Justice Taskforce Dec Mtg

Are you interested in working for Economic Justice?
The mission of the Economic Justice Taskforce – one of the nine taskforce groups of the Western New York Peace Center – is to confront directly the economic factors preventing people from living complete and holistic lives, and to work towards justice to honor all of humanity.
Our activities focus on education and advocacy.
In 2022, we will:
(1) support local labor activism
(2) join the local and national efforts of the Poor People’s Campaign
and (3) host weekly CR (consciousness raising) groups about economic justice – and the intersections of poverty, militarism, mass incarceration, gender, race and ecological devastation.

STOP LINE 3

December 14 marks the 1 year anniversary of the start of construction on Enbridge’s tar sands oil pipeline 3. Rushed construction has caused permanent environmental damage, threatening drink water for millions of people. Enbridge, a Canadian company, has already been fined $3.32 million for failure to follow environmental laws. We are calling on Army Corps of Engineers to ORDER an federal environmental impact study. Join us to show your support for a healthier planet.
