The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center (CIWC)
believes everyone has the right to safe and secure
employment that pays a living wage; and that treats
workers with justice and dignity.

People interested in economic justice issues, but not
yet able to find a way to get involved in meaningful
social activism, are turning to the national Worker
Centers' movement to express their commitment
to human and civil rights.
