THE INTERFAITH COUNCIL ON
RACE, RELIGION, ECONOMIC & SOCIAL JUSTICE
(South Bay)

The Interfaith Council Guided by the moral values of love and compassion from their respective religious and faith traditions, the Interfaith Council is an association of clergy and laity working with labor and community organizations to promote social, economic and racial justice in Silicon Valley and beyond.

Through the promotion of human solidarity and the common good, they are creating an inclusive community of justice, abundance and peace.

The Interfaith Council counts among its accomplishments a successful living wage campaign in San Jose, being a key anchor in a campaign that won health benefits for all children in Santa Clara County, a comprehensive housing program for low and very low-income families, and support for more than a dozen struggles of low-wage workers in a range of industries.

Nearly ten years old, the group has a board of ten representatives from six different denominations and 75 active religious leaders engaged in its work. The Interfaith Council partners closely with Working Partnerships USA and other community and labor groups in their campaigns.
