Founded in 1965 as Friends of FIGHT, in a struggle for equal access to good jobs at Kodak, our organization was born fighting for justice and equality for all people.
Since that time, Metro Justice has evolved, taking on many important issues and growing as we go. We spearheaded and won our Fight for Economic Justice Campaign, which became the statewide Fight for $15 and raised the minimum wage for food service and many other workers across New York. Click on the images above to learn more about our current campaigns to fight the incredible wealth inequality in our state and the poverty that our city experiences as a result of that inequality. When we join together to demand a more fair and just society, our individual voices are louder, our efforts more effective, our power greater.
