Get your tickets early!
Thank You!
We're ready to jumpstart the new decade here at SAJE, bringing our campaigns, plans, goals, into the new year.
I can't tell you often enough how much we appreciate and rely on the support of individuals like you.
No matter how you're involved, it reminds us that what we do is important not just to us, but to thousands of others across Los Angeles, and across the country, as well.
Our sincerest thanks for your support of SAJE in 2009.
Autumn 09 - Exciting New Chapter Starts At SAJE
SAJE is an economic justice, community development, and popular education center that has been building economic power for working class people in Los Angeles since 1996.
What do we mean by that? Well, we're here to make sure that the voices of the Figueroa Corridor community residents are heard and heeded in the halls of the City's planners, in the Housing Department, City Hall, and beyond. We work to increase tenants' rights, improve environmental conditions, increase local hiring, and more.
Over the past thirteen years, SAJE's winning combination of community organizing, coalition-building, and grassroots policy has gained significant benefits for the community.
So, what's the word about a new chapter at SAJE?
In the spring of 2009 we bade farewell to our founding Executive Director, Gilda Haas, and we now welcome Paulina Gonzalez as our second Executive Director.
As the new year approaches, we're thrilled and excited to move into a new phase under Paulina's leadership. Our campaigns are ever-successful and growing, and we've got big plans up our sleeve. We've even got a new garden down at our community space (come check it out!) and welcome you all to stop by and visit us sometime.
U.S. Economy: 10 Chairs
Many people are confused and frightened about what is happening in the economy today and want to know more about what's going on, how the economy works, and real solutions that are in sync with their values. Towards that end, the Just Economics collective has created the Meltdown training which is accompanied by some short video cartoons.
Here is Part 1, which takes us through the U.S. economy from robber barons to the great depression to demand side economic policies.
