CEJ Buffalo

CEJ wins dynamic campaigns by uniting labor, faith, and community leaders

CEJ was formed in 1986 when religious and labor leaders organized a campaign together to stop good manufacturing jobs from being outsourced to Mexico by the Trico corporation. Since our founding, CEJ has collaborated with a wide array of partners to win local campaigns for corporate and government accountability, sustainable economic development, and worker justice. CEJ has also taken its fight to

Albany, recognizing that too often decisions impacting our local communities are made at the state level. CEJ is the co-anchor of a statewide alliance of worker and community groups and has been at the forefront of the fight for reform of wasteful economic development programs. As an extension of our issue work we engage in voter education and engagement – registering new voters, encouraging occasional voters to become more active participants in our democracy, and providing all voters with information about where candidates stand on our issues. The Coalition for Economic Justice is one of 42 community-labor coalitions nationwide that comprise the national Jobs with Justice network, as well as the NY State Labor-Religion Coalition.

The Irish flag, the Polish flag, the Italian flag, the Pride flag, the Haudenosaunee flag, the Juneteenth flag, the Somali flag, and many more are flown each year at Buffalo City Hall alongside our ever-present American flag.

Buffalo has always been a diverse city. Our strength and vibrancy is rooted in many cultures, including the Native American communities of the Haudenosaunee, immigrants who arrived from Europe and elsewhere during Buffalo’s industrial expansion, Black participants in the Great Migration, migrants from Puerto Rico to the mainland, and refugees and immigrants from around the world who continue to grow our city today.

Today and always, our partnership celebrates this diversity as one of Buffalo’s defining strengths. We look forward to even more flags, festivals, and celebrations for our neighbors in this city that belongs to all of us.

"Buffalo United Coalition is calling a vigil as Trump threatens to destroy Iran and kill 10,000 of thousands tonight. We will be gathering at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 139 Pearl St, Buffalo, NY 14202 AT 7:30 PM

There is a parking ramp near by that St. Paul’s can help cover if you can’t afford it. Let’s spread the word and come together as Trump drives us further towards madness.
