We are tired of seeing billionaires get richer and more powerful while our communities struggle to survive.

Together we can build the infrastructure and tools we need to turn up the heat on the billionaire elite.

J4J developed a sophisticated and highly effective approach to strategic research which has continued to shape how strategic corporate research is done to this day.
Lessons for Today “Principle one is you can’t win if you fight the wrong target. And principle two is, you can’t win if you hit the right target in the wrong place […] And so research is essential to identifying the right targets. It’s not easy, but it is essential. ” -Jono Shaffer, LA Justice for Janitors Organizer
