CLU Salt of the Earth Awards

Through the Salt of the Earth Awards, CLU seeks to recognize individuals and organizations who have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to improving the lives of working-class families in Greater Boston and throughout the Commonwealth. For more than a decade, CLU has accomplished its mission through coalition building, research and policy development, public education and grassroots mobilization that moves policies forward. Our campaigns bring together community organizations and unions, based on a shared interest in making concrete changes in everyday people’s lives. We develop new organizing and increased civic engagement opportunities for our partner organizations.
