2003
This year, Washington State Jobs With Justice celebrated A Decade of Activism for Justice at our annual dinner on October 25th, honoring some of those who’ve stood out in the fight for social justice. This was our largest and most successful dinner to date, with over 400 people attending.

We honored local heroes committed to our goals of immigrant workers’ rights, worker organizing impacted by war and global justice. The honorees were:

• Sergio Salinas and SEIU 6’s Justice for Janitors Campaign
  for fighting for low-wage immigrant workers’ rights through creative, direct action bringing together faith, community, labor, and student groups.
  
      



• Larry Gossett and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Committee
  for being one of the first Seattle-area groups to tie together issues of Social Justice and peace through their Support the Poor! No More War! march and rally in January.
  
    



• JwJ’s 10th Anniversary Solidarity Award to the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU)
  for beating back the Bush Administration and Corporate America with a contract vicory last winter and for the ILWU’s many years of solidarity with struggles other than their own.
