The Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) is seeking a Policy Associate to support the day-to-day activities of CJA’s policy campaigns. This is a full-time position. Location is flexible but San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Miami or New York City are preferred.
CJA’s mission is to forge a socially and economically just transition away from an extractive economy and towards healthy, resilient local communities, to address the root causes of climate change. In 2012, CJA developed the Our Power Campaign engaging 40 member organizations to create a vision that supports local and national campaign goals rooted in front line, community-based struggles, including those of Indigenous peoples, people of color, new immigrants and working class peoples. CJA seeks to catalyze a broad-based, scalable campaign for a Just Transition away from industries that undermine the well-being of human communities and environmental systems – like dirty energy , industrial-scale manufacturing and agribusiness – and transform local economies into models of sustainability, equity, and resilience. Our work supports local organizing through peer-exchange, training and direct action, and coalition building to advance policies aimed at ending extreme energy, while promoting green jobs and a regenerative economy.
