The Economic Justice Task Force is committed to reducing economic injustice and inequality through advocacy and public education.
Goals for 2010
- Support progressive legislation on economic justice issues including (but not limited to) tax justice, predatory lending, Earned Income Tax Credit, subprime mortgage problems, utility rates, etc.
- Work with MASW chapters and partner organizations to plan public forums on these economic justice issues; co-sponsor conferences and major meetings whenever possible.
- Work with other organizations in support of efforts to reduce poverty in Missouri by requesting that the Governor appoint a task force to focus on the effects of poverty in our communities.
A list of upcoming meetings is available on the MASW Calendar page.
