–To live free from bigotry and discrimination, where everyone enjoys equal opportunity and the equal protection of the laws without prejudice.

–To universal access to publicly-funded, comprehensive, quality health care for all residents. –To free, quality public education for ourselves and our children. –To retire at a decent standard of living after a lifetime of work. –To a life where the needs of our families do not have to be neglected because of the demands of our jobs. –To join a union freely and to strike without fear of being fired or other retribution. –To be paid a living wage in a safe workplace, to be treated fairly at work, and to not be fired unjustly. We remain dedicated to building a more just society, where we all have the right: We are the people who make the country run, but have little say in running the country. We are the employed, the unemployed, and the retired. We are the people who build and sustain the nation, but rarely enjoy our fair share of the wealth we create. Our principles and goals are adapted from the national Labor Party’s “Call for Economic Justice.” The Alachua County Labor Coalition (ACLC) is composed of individuals, unions, and worker-friendly organizations committed to the economic, environmental, civil, and social rights of working people, their families, and communities, and to the ecological systems that sustain us. ***IMPORTANT NOTE: THE ALACHUA COUNTY LABOR COALITION ENGAGES IN POLITICAL ADVOCACY BUT DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY CANDIDATE FOR ANY POLITICAL OFFICE.***Īs amended and approved by our Board on Jand by the general membership on August 23, 2016.
