Name

This campaign is partnering with resources and opportunities from the AFL-CIO, the National Farmworker Ministry, and any other workers your church decides to show solidarity in 2025 and beyond!

The United Church of Christ has supported worker rights for decades through a variety of General Synod resolutions and solidarity actions nationwide. We are excited to bring Labor Sunday and even more action to our communities around the country! Thank you for joining this exciting movement.

Have more questions on how to get active? Please reach out to Minister for Economic Justice Rev. Seth Wispelwey!
