- Summary:
- To ignore the presence and influence of religious activists in the US living wage movement would be to miss a key dimension of a faith-labor coalition for living wages, argues Snarr (ethics and society, Vanderbilt U. Divinity School), whose examination of the religious elements of the living wage movement is based upon participant observation of movement activists in campaigns in Atlanta, Georgia, and Nashville and Memphis in Tennessee and a literature review. She discusses the moral framing of the movement and how it articulates alternate visions of political economy, the role of religious organizations in multiracial and ethnic living wage organizing, feminist organizations in living wage activism and their connections to religious activists, and the use of religious ritual for strengthening moral commitment and moral agency within the movement.
