For twenty years. the CSJ has been dedicated to the praiseworthy goal of building a grassroots movement for progressive social change. rooted in lowincome communities and communities of color that have been excluded from the economic benefits of the current system. The CSJ has a dual focus: to recruit and develop its own leaders from low income backgrounds. and to organize effective campaigns to address the economic survival issues that lowincome communities and communities of color face. CSJs agenda includes: funding essential community services through progressive taxes. workers rights. housing. health care. education. welfare. criminal justice reform. immigrant rights. and environmental justice. CSJ has actively participated in advocating for the needs of workingclass families. For example. in 2014 CSJ helped increase minimum wage in Massachusetts. and also helped earn sick time for all workers in Massachusetts.
