The People's Campaign--Working for Good Jobs!

In 2008 find MICAH in the trenches fighting for job creation and economic development for Milwaukee’s central city residents.

In 2007, we launched The People's Campaign and released the "Ten Commandments of Economic Justice," a guiding principles document developed by grassroots and working people(Ten Commandments). As we build on the priciples of the "Ten Commandmants of Economic Justice," and the strength of The People's Campaign, we plan to organize for action and power and win major accomplishments in areas such as:

Increasing available jobs that provide family supporting wages and solid benefits
Push for job training that leads to marketable skills and actual employment
Connecting workers to jobs through creating affordable public transportation alternatives
Engaging ex-offenders and recovering addicts to sustaining job opportunities
