Economic Justice Coalition

Economic Justice Coalition The EJC is a non-profit organization based in Athens, Georgia and works to promote workers' rights and fair wages.

Since 2004, the EJC has registered over 20,000 people to vote and has established three worker-owned cooperatives. We believe in a future where workers are organized with political and economic power, receive a fair wage for a day's work, and have access to affordable health care and other necessities. Our projects are as diverse as our membership. From empowering and educating low wage and no wag

e workers, to organizing for worker protections, and helping immigrant workers learn English and avoid mistreatment, the Economic Justice Coalition is making a difference in peoples' lives every day.

It is with heavy hearts that we honor the life and legacy of Mrs. Linda Lloyd, former Executive Director of the Economic Justice Coalition and a lifelong advocate for justice, equity, and community empowerment

Linda Lloyd was far more than a leader within our organization, she was a pillar of the values we continue to uphold today. During her time as Executive Director, she helped shape the mission, vision, and spirit of EJC, laying a foundation the continues to guide our work. Her leadership was rooted in compassion, courage, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting marginalized communities.

Even after stepping down from her formal role, Mrs. Lloyd never stepped away from the work. She remained a constant presence, supporting EJC through periods of growth and transition, showing up for community events, continuing to advocate for the causes she believed in so deeply, and being the Executive Director of Above and Beyond Home Healthcare Co-op. Her dedication was not defined by a title, but a lifelong commitment to justice.

Mrs. Linda Lloyd touched countless lives through her advocacy, mentorship, and service, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations. Her passing is a profound loss for our organization and the broader community. Many of us were personally impacted by her kindness, leadership, and strength. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Economic justice isn’t just policy — it’s peace of mind.
It’s stability, dignity, and the ability to breathe without constant financial stress.
This is the future we’re working toward. 🌅
