To support Building a Multi-Constituency Movement for Healthcare For All to improve access to health care and the quality of jobs in the health care industry. The Jobs with Justice Education Fund (JwJEF) will accomplish this goal in a number of ways. The project will provide the training and information needed by local groups to effectively address issues such as employer-based health care insurance and the quality of patient care. It will broaden the involvement of religious leaders, with special emphasis on Jewish leaders, and their congregations in activities aimed at improving access to, and the quality of, health care. JwJEF will develop innovative public education tools (for example, creative bus placards) by working in collaboration with artists at the national and local levels.
