Labor Day provides a unique opportunity for the religious community and organized labor to rediscover our common bonds: social justice, equality, the dignity of all people, racial and economic justice, and fair treatment in the workplace. It calls us to recommit ourselves to work together in partnership to be a witness to actualizing these values.
This Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2–5, 2022, provides a unique opportunity for faith congregations to organize a Labor in the Pulpit, on the Bimah and in the Minbar program. The guide, created by AFL-CIO, places union leaders as guest speakers in faith congregations so that they can speak about the values of equity, racial and economic justice; the solidarity that labor shares with the faith community; and, especially this year, how the PRO Act is a means to achieving a more just and equitable society for all.
