NYS Labor-Religion Coalition
The NYS Labor-Religion Coalition unites faith, labor, and community in a statewide movement for social, racial, and economic justice in New York, grounded in our deeply held moral and democratic values.
Founded in 1980, the Labor-Religion Coalition became a program of the Kairos Center in 2025.
At the Kairos Center, Labor-Religion Coalition continues to organize faith leaders and communities across New York, advocate alongside labor and grassroots partners for pro-worker, anti-poverty policies, and offer programming to equip faith, labor, and other community leaders for movement-building work that centers the needs and voices of the poor.
