Interning at DC JWJ is what got me interested in labor activism and advocacy for socioeconomic equity. I learned so much about the power of grassroots organizing, people power, and community. The work of the Just Pay Coalition has been so impactful in shedding light on the rampant wage theft that happens in DC and how to put an end to it.
