Formerly called
National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice

Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ) was a nonprofit and nonpartisan interfaith advocacy network comprising more than 60 worker centers and faith and labor organizations that advanced the rights of working people through grassroots, worker-led campaigns and engagement with diverse faith communities and labor allies. IWJ affiliates took action to shape policy at the local, state and national levels.

As of June 2017, IWJ was governed by a 36-member board of directors.[1]

IWJ closed at the end of 2021. [2]
