About Us
our
Mission
We are a multiracial coalition based in San Francisco, a city of staggering income and racial inequality as well as significant opportunity for innovative progressive leadership. Our SF-based advocacy has won workers rights victories that set precedents statewide and nationally.
Our member groups represent hotel, restaurant, retail and service workers, domestic workers, nurses, teachers, city workers, seniors, people with disabilities, tenants and students.
We believe that workers don’t lead single issue lives — working families need secure jobs with living wages plus accessible healthcare, quality public education, affordable housing and a liveable climate. By building a strong multiracial and multi-issue alliance rooted in long-term relationships and solidarity, we have the power to win significant policy and system change to empower workers and communities of color.
Together we have more power and can win victories that none of us could win alone. Join us.

Reports to: Deputy Director
Compensation: $92-101k/year
Hybrid workplace, including weekly meetings in San Francisco, CA
Jobs with Justice San Francisco (JWJSF) is a long term, multi-racial alliance of labor unions and community groups supporting workers’ rights and fighting for economic, racial and gender justice. Our member groups represent service workers, domestic workers, healthcare workers, educators, city workers, seniors, people with disabilities, tenants, students and more. Our coalition connects people—workers, Black and Brown people, immigrants, queer and gender-oppressed folks—to build collective power.
We believe as Audre Lorde said, “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” Working people need good jobs with dignity and a voice at work, quality and equitable public education, affordable housing and a liveable climate. We see economic, racial and gender justice as intersecting and necessary to each other. Our current programs focus on workers rights, housing and climate justice.
By building a strong multiracial and multi-issue alliance rooted in long-term relationships and solidarity, we have the power to win real systems change. JWJSF staff coordinate California Labor for Climate Jobs (CLCJ), a statewide coalition of 16 unions working to advance a worker- and community-led transition to a just and climate-safe economy. CLCJ aims to advance workers rights and build worker organizing opportunities through our policy platform that focuses on climate hazard protections, safety nets for workers and communities in transition, good jobs in the low carbon economy and ensuring climate-resilient services and infrastructure for all. Climate change is forcing economic change; the labor movement has to lead on climate change to ensure that the changes are good for workers and advance racial justice.
Job purpose
The Climate Organizing Director builds worker and coalition power to win strategic victories for workers rights and good jobs in the era of climate change, and worker-led transition in California. Working primarily to advance the statewide coalition California Labor for Climate Jobs (CLCJ), the Climate Organizing Director will build the collective power and leadership of the CLCJ coalition’s member organizations and their rank & file members at the nexus of climate, economic and racial justice issues; mobilize workers to support statewide advocacy; and work to change the narrative so that strong climate action is seen as an opportunity to create good, union jobs.
While the majority of the Climate Organizing Director’s position will focus on the California Labor for Climate Jobs coalition, each position at JWJSF is an integral part of a collaborative staff team that develops, and wins collective campaigns across coalition issues, including workers rights, housing and climate justice, including locally in San Francisco.
