International Workers' Day Today

May 1st is International Workers' Day. I invite you to thank a worker who has made your life better. And, remember workers who are unemployed or underemployed.

Kim Bobo, the Executive Director of Interfaith Worker Justice reminds us "Workers are an integral part of the fabric of our congregations and communities, yet too many barely make ends meet or are living in poverty. As people of faith, we are called to fight for worker justice and make sure all workers have access to jobs that pay a living and just wage."
 

Kim will be in Wichita on May 16 speaking at University United Methodist Church, N. Yale and 21st Street, at 3:00 p.m. Please join us.

Interfaith Worker Justice and its affiliates around the country are leading efforts to stop wage theft, educate workers on workplace safety and push for the creation of just jobs. We need your help to carry out this work. You can make a contribution to Interfaith Worker Justice Kansas. Mail your check to IWJKansas, 5214 Pembrook Circle, Wichita, KS 67220. Thank you.
