wfp justice fund
Justice is on the ballot.
The WFP Justice Fund is a new grassroots PAC to build power for the movement. We will defend bold elected officials who come under attack and elect the next generation of leaders who will invest in what really keeps us safe.
A project of the Working Families Party and the Electoral Justice Project of the Movement for Black Lives.
It’s time to match our movement’s power in the streets with power in city halls.
Local elected officials have incredible power. They control city budgets, and they can choose to design budgets that invest in what really keeps us safe: jobs, housing, mental health and education and proven strategies like community violence interrupters.
We deserve elected officials who will stand on the freedom side.
We who believe in freedom will stand together to elect those leaders in cities around the country.
