 Economic Justice Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection. (Article 23.3, Universal Declaration of Human Rights) QCC is working to educate the community about the need for more living wage jobs, and our shared responsibility to end poverty.
| People's College: Community Conversations on Poverty
"Even the poor have a right to think” Gustavo Gutirrez 
In January 2006, QCC received CCHD grant funding to support the first phase of establishing Peoples College. The Peoples College/University of the Poor – School of Theology Poverty Seminar consisted of a two-week community wide educational seminar, in collaboration with the University of the Poor – School of  Theology, on the persistence of poverty in the United States and the Thomas Jefferson Planning district. The goals of this community seminar were to heighten awareness concerning the issue of poverty, to make face-to-face connections between the poor and those who are not, and to deepen the local community’s commitment to meet the ongoing challenge of creating a more just and equitable society.
