Hundreds Honor Labor, Community Activists at DC JwJ Awards

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Hundreds of activists filled the Gompers Room of the AFL-CIO last night to honor labor and community leaders at the 6th Annual DC Jobs with Justice (JwJ) “I’ll Be There” Awards. This year’s honorees included Metro Council President Jos Williams, Foundry United Methodist Church, Empower DC, and DC public school activists Mary Spencer and Marc Borbely. The evening started with a lively performance by Sin Fronteras followed by a moving adaptation of the popular Indian street theater play “The Pit” by the ACT Theater Collective. The event helped to raise funds for the work of DC JwJ. To donate to DC JWJ online, click here.
