Dear Friend,?

I'm so excited to share some updates about DC Jobs With Justice! We have a great team and board, and new project we're incubating. Check out the new faces and we all look forward to working together with you for a better DC.

Recently, DC JWJ added two new members to our team.?Dida El-Sourady joins us as Organizing Director. She has a long history in the labor movement, most recently as Organizing Director at UNITE HERE 25, where she spent 10 years building power with hospitality workers. You can reach her at [email protected].

Dida is pictured above second from left after the successful vote to lower the PLA threshold at the DC Council.?

DC JWJ is excited to welcome the staff of the Green New Deal for DC to our community. DC JWJ is now acting as the fiscal sponsor and support organization for the GND for DC. East Peterson-Trujillo started as Campaign Director this month and Oscar Villalobos continues his role as Coalition Coordinator. They are also located with us in our office at the Festival Center.?

And finally, I'd like to (re)introduce the DC JWJ Executive Committee, we've also had a number of transitions as well as many familiar faces. Our current board reflects the diversity and commitment of our members.?
