The Share the Plate for Sundays August 31 and September 7th is Worker Justice Wisconsin. Worker Justice Wisconsin advances justice in our community by building collective power together with faith and labor allies. They empower workers to stand up for their rights and fight for a just and living wage for all, paid time off for all, workplaces free from discrimination and harassment, opportunities for collective bargaining without retaliation, and a healthy work life balance. Worker Justice Wisconsin was nominated by the Worship Team.
