Jobs with Justice Solidarity Calendar – Janaury 2012
The idea is to list all the information that is shared at our monthly Steering Committee—now it’s all here in one place, for folks to use in their union newsletters, church bulletins, email lists, or just to stick up on the fridge. (Apologies in advance for any accidental omissions; please check with event organizers to confirm any details, or call JwJ 503-236-5573.) For more information or to make an online donation please visit http://www.jwjpdx.org
Also, follow us on twitter and facebook if you’re into that kind of thing!
