Working people everywhere share common goals - “An Injury to One is an Injury to All”.

As public sector workers, we want to build linkages with communities in developing countries.  

The Social Justice Fund supports exchanges, direct funding to development projects in education, health, water and combating poverty and emergency and humanitarian aid to those most vulnerable in Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America and Asia.
