My first job out of college was as the Community Outreach Organizer with DC Jobs With Justice. With Mackenzie as my teacher and the support of labor greats like Chris Garlock, Roger Newell and Jos Williams I learned how to fight for workers rights aka human rights. I carry the lessons with me today, almost 20 years later, now as an ED of another human rights organization. I’ll forever be grateful for the teachers, friends, sisters and brothers that I gained during my time at JWJ.
