About Black Economic Justice Institute (BEJI)
The BEJI was created in October 2012 because community advocates and activists saw the need for a voice regarding the unemployment and the under employment of Boston residents, people of color and females as it relates to construction and permanent jobs in the City of Boston. We took a stand against major construction companies and fought for compliance around the Boston Resident Job Policy (BRJP) ordinance. The BRJP ordinance states that there should be 50% Boston Residents, 25% people of color and 10% females. After protesting for over 200 days, our group of determined individuals partnered with the Boston Jobs Coalition to bring about a change to construction and permanent jobs.
