The Economic Justice Task Force is committed to reducing economic injustice and inequality through advocacy and public education.

Goals for 2012

  2. Work with MASW chapters and partner organizations to plan public forums on above identified economic justice issues, especially issues of economic injustice related to racial or gender discrimination.
  3. Co-sponsor conferences and major meetings whenever possible.
  4. Work with other organizations in support of efforts to reduce poverty and unemployment in Missouri.


The Economic Justice Task Force chair is currently vacant.
