In 1994, a coalition of Baltimore churches initiated a campaign that would change the face of worker justice organizing in the United States. Since that time over 150 cities have passed living wage ordinances in an effort to counter the growing phenomenon of “working poverty.” Religious activists have offered important resources to this successful movement through their ethical framing, racial bridge-building, and ritualized protests. This lecture will explore lessons (both positive and negative) form the activism of people of faith in the movement.
