Calling All Artists!


Do you...
... believe in workers' rights and economic justice?

Jobs with Justice needs YOU!

Not an artist? Watch your e-mail inbox & our website - you'll have a chance to vote on the winning design! Also, please forward this message to your artist friends.

Our Annual Meeting is coming up in September and we want to take this opportunity to launch an exciting new T-Shirt design that conveys a sense of the power that we share as a movement. Jobs with Justice is built on the principle of solidarity—workers, families, students, faith leaders, and community groups coming together in the struggle for workers' rights and economic justice. Our Annual Meeting will bring together 1,000+ activists from local coalitions in 25 states, as well as allies from other organizations in the U.S. and around the world. We want to inspire them with a new design that captures the solidarity, determination, and optimism that we feel as we continue to build a strong national movement for economic justice. Can you help us?

1. well at least this is a decent prize

but there is no reason to make the artist wave rigths. you can have unrestricted use for yourself without making the artist give up their rights.
