Georgetown University's Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor empowers working people to build an equitable, sustainable, and democratic economy through envisioning and creating new resources and strategies. As a labor center in the nation's capital, we convene, research, educate, and mobilize for economic and racial justice and the common good informed by the Catholic and Jesuit traditions of worker justice. We bring together students, workers, scholars, labor and community organizations, activists, policymakers, and allies to incubate new ideas and transformative initiatives... Founded in 2009, the Kalmanovitz Initiative was created as a space to engage questions of workers' rights and the future of the labor movement. Since then, the KI has taken on special projects that explore policies supporting workers' rights, coalition building between labor and community groups, and connecting students to local advocacy and organizing opportunities.
