Sarita and Smiley decided to put this on paper not only to clarify the work of Jobs With Justice but to provide a framework for those they may not be in a relationship with who seek to have more control/decision-making power over their economic conditions. The only thing that hasn’t changed since then is the commitment to centering the struggles of everyday people, including efforts to combat white supremacy and gender discrimination which big companies often leverage to divide us from each other. Jobs With Justice was founded in 1987 with the goal of expanding organizing and collective bargaining power. However, the content itself has a much longer origin story. Smiley and Sarita officially started to plan out the book in 2017.
